You can strike the word beleaguered from all the news stories as Chadwell St Mary primary school has been taken out of special measures.
The news comes after a two year battle not only to climb out of special measures but also stave off the threat of closure by Thurrock Council.
Ofsted has now confirmed that the school is “satisfactory” after the school passed a series of rigorous inspections.
YourThurrock has been invited to the school on thursday to join in on the special celebrations.
