CHILDREN'S secretary Ed Balls MP paid a visit to Ipswich today to tour a school being heralded as a leading light in the area.
Accompanied by Ipswich MP Chris Mole, Mr Balls toured Stoke High School, a specialist technology school to get the low down on its success.
He also took in a school performance of Oliver Twist.
Mr Balls said: “Chris Mole has been saying to me for some months since I got this job that it (Stoke High) is a school I really should come and see.
“It is a very impressive school with a good headteacher and very good inspection results from Ofsted.
“It shows just what can be done.”
Stoke Park School was judged by Ofsted to be an outstanding school in November 2006 - the first high school in Suffolk to achieve this status.
It has been a specialist technology school since 2004.
