Letter from Christine Gilbert (HMCD) Her Majesty's Chief Inspector for Schools - March 2007

"I very much enjoyed my visit to Tower Road Primary School. I have rarely visited a school where the atmosphere was so very positive. It was evident that staff, governors, parents and most important of all, pupils were all pulling in the same direction. I was struck too by the attention to detail and to the quality throughout the school ...........I know your pupils will continue to thrive in the rich learning environment you are creating for them."
