The Prime Minister has praised Louis Desa for helping turn Bishop Thomas Grant School (BTG) into one of the most improved schools in the country.

Mr Desa was among 150 headteachers invited to a reception at 10 Downing Street to recognise their innovative approaches to education and their commitment to raising achievement in their schools.

Over the last five years BTG has improved significantly scoring exceptionally and consistently high in its latest Ofsted inspection and achieving excellent exam results.

Congratulating Mr Desa, Chuka commented “Successes in Streatham like these need to be constantly recognised and celebrated. This particular achievement highlights how schools in our area are aiming and achieving high”.
