Nusrat Ghani said: “White House Academy is a fantastic asset to Hailsham, delivering an inclusive environment where pupils can thrive and be the best version of themselves. I was pleased to hear more about the positive outcome of the school’s latest ungraded inspection, which is a great testament to the hard work of the staff and leadership team and the high standards and expectations they have of the pupils. It was lovely to catch up with representatives of the Pupil Parliament on their priorities for the school and discuss some of the ins and outs of the processes in the House of Commons Chamber.”
