Confederation of School Trust Chief Executive Leora Cruddas CBE said:
"The evidence from the Ofsted inspection of Bristol Brunel and Dame Joan McVittie’s independent review of the trust is clear: this is a very good school in a strong trust. Dame Joan McVittie concludes: 'The Cabot Learning Federation is a trust where their core purpose is built around their ‘HEART’ values. The E in heart is about Equity and rejecting discrimination. These are strong values embodied by senior leaders and those involved in governance.'
"As Dame Joan McVittie’s report makes unequivocally clear, the decision to postpone The decision to postpone an MP’s visit was made solely on safeguarding and health and safety grounds for students, staff, and the MP.
"The leadership that the school and trust have shown in these circumstances is exemplary. Leaders have acted at all time with integrity, equanimity, and transparency. They have modelled the ethic of public service and the principles of public life."
