It was great to visit Harefield School this morning to see their new library, which launched on World Book Day and where students were invited to collect their £1 book.
As part of my visit, I was given a tour by the Deputy Head and two students, who shared with me some of their experiences of the school and its facilities. As a small school, there is a real sense of integration - for example, a number of recreational spaces to encourage pupils to play team sports, and an open layout cafeteria.
I also took the opportunity to have a catch up with Headteacher Katrina Boyle about a number of important issues, including funding, admissions and experiences with Ofsted.
