Sky College removed from Special Measures
under Lilac Sky Schools Management
Three inspectors visited Sky College during the recent inspection and they were highly impressed with the progress the school has made in just a year.
We couldn't have asked for a better outcome. Everyone in school played their part including staff, students and governors. The school felt really positive, an effective place of learning. I am delighted that the three inspectors agreed with us that Sky was no longer a school in Special Measures instead we have passed with many good features.
