Pupils who showed they could do better Improving schools

The 10 most improved schools were: [Dalton Foljambe]; St Joseph's Catholic Primary, also in [Rotherham]; Rolleston Junior, Leicester; Deykin Avenue, Birmingham; Ridge Meadow, the Medway Towns; Halcon Community; Oldfield Brow, Trafford; Ranworth Square, Liverpool; Gaskell Primary, Bolton; Kelvin Grove, Lewisham, south-east London.

Primary School League Tables: Success story that defied its social disadvantage Most Improved School
2000
DALTON FOLJAMBE primary school in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, this year's most improved school, is a model of New Labour rectitude. Name almost any new initiative of the many pouring out of the Department for Education, and the school has taken it on board. Phil Rodgers, the head, makes no apology for the fact that the school's success has been achieved by a ruthless concentration on raising standards in reading, writing and maths - just as ministers hoped when they relaxed the rules compelling primary schools to teach nine national curriculum subjects.

[Howard White], who was the highest paid primary school headteacher in Rotherham with a salary in excess of [Pounds]50,000 a year, was also found guilty of falsely claiming [Pounds]2,088 in expenses following a school trip to New Zealand in 2001.

In addition, White was convicted of stealing more than [Pounds]10,000 from East Dene's school journey fund, and stealing nearly [Pounds]2,000 from the after-care club. Judge [Roger Keen QC] said White used his position to \"milk funds that were intended for the after- care of and trips for deprived pupils\".
