Stevenage in The News

2 bits of national news on Stevenage today, one good and one bad:

Firefighters killed in rescue bid
One in 10 schools 'not improving'

You can't miss the flats on the way into work, and from what I've heard from work colleagues it was horrific to watch at 3am this morning. I've not seen any TV coverage yet, but I'm told it was on the national news.

The other bit I saw briefly at lunchtime, which highlighted Burydale Junior School in Stevenage as an example of a school no longer in need of Special Measures status. And having spent time working in the local schools with schools liason thro' work, it's great to see Stevenage being presented in such a good way. There's a lot of clever kids out there, and with the right encouragement they'll go a long way.
