A Watford headteacher has been given a role in helping to improve struggling schools.

Parmiter’s School has been named National Support School, with headteacher Nick Daymond becoming a National Leader of Education.

Mr Daymond is one of only 70 headteachers to be appointed to this role and will be invited to the National College’s Learning and Conference Centre in Nottingham for a formal induction.

The school and its staff will provide leadership for struggling schools, or those in transition to federation or academy status.

Mr Daymond said: "We hope to be able to share our expertise with others in a mutually supportive way through this designation."
