Councillor Sally Hinkley, Belvedere Ward, London Borough of Bexley

Thank you so much for your time today, and for showing us the school. It is genuinely fascinating to have now seen first hand the activities that are going on behind two seemingly ordinary looking facades in the village.

I would like to also extend thanks to those learners that we met with, who were incredibly welcoming to us, and are clearly very much at home in the setting. You are doing incredible work with these very vulnerable young people, and it was lovely to see not only their enthusiasm, but also that of the staff. I know that you frequently mentioned that the two buildings are not exactly ideal, but the warmth and calm of the environment shone through, and it is clear that you are having a very positive impact on all those who attend.
