A SCHOOL in Thornton Heath is celebrating after gaining its second "outstanding" Ofsted report in a row.

Norbury Manor Business and Enterprise College for Girls, based in Kensington Avenue, was inspected at the start of June.

Ofsted inspectors praised the school for turning its pupils into "articulate young women".

David Sands, who has been head teacher at the school since September 2008, said: "This is great news for the school, particularly as most people recognise they (Ofsted) have raised the bar.

"The inspector noted that behaviour, attendance and punctuality had improved and all were judged outstanding, which is superb."
