THE transformation of a Southampton school was the toast of Downing Street when the Prime Minister held a reception to celebrate the improvements in education across the country.
Cassie Ellins, head teacher of Upper Shirley High School, was invited by Gordon Brown to the event organised for those running the schools which have made most progress in results, who he described as the "crème de la crème" of their profession.(Sourced from Daily Echo.)
