How did Mountfitchet Mathematics and Computing College become the most improved school in 2006 after being branded "a concern" in 2002?
With a budget deficit and serious behavioural problems, headteacher Jo Mullis attributes the school's turnaround to a "relentless focus on learning", with the aim of enhancing the lives of every student at the school.
Standards were raised with initiatives such as personalised support through learning managers, changes to the school timetable and a system of peer observations for staff.
