Dulwich schools are among those to benefit from improvements to Southwark's education service, according to government inspectors.
A new OFSTED report praises the service for making substantial' progress and considers it to be performing satisfactorily'. The report follows the takeover of educational services in the borough by Atkins Education, part of WS Atkins Plc, in April 2001.
Bob Skelly, Southwark executive member for education, said: "It is thanks to the hard work of all involved, including members, officers, staff at Atkins Education, headteachers, governors and teachers, that Southwark has managed this progress."
