A head teacher who "lives and breathes" a primary school in Braunstone has stepped down after the school achieved its "best ever" SATs results. Staff said Halil Tamgumus, also known as Mr T, had transformed Braunstone Community Primary School in Leicestershire after taking on the role in 2019. The school, which is rated Good by Ofsted, surpassed the national average for the first time ever with 82% of pupils achieving an expected grade or above in maths, 80% in reading and 79% in writing. Mr T said standing up in assembly to announce he was the new head teacher was the "best feeling ever" but that leaving was "bittersweet". Mr T spoke to Â鶹Éç Leicester's Ady Dayman.
