of the Rotary Club and which is held at the University of Cambridge's West Road Concert Hall. Leadership The School's first headteacher was Constance Mary Bull, who led the school until she retired in 1980. Her successor as headteacher was John McGrellis. Subsequent Icknield headteacher Marilyn Jones retired in July 2009 after leading the school for ten years. She said, "I have had a fantastic ten years at Icknield Walk, and there are lots of people to thank for that – parents, staff, governors, PTA committees and most of all the children. What I am going to do with my days in September is still a mystery to me but I will think of everyone at the school fondly and there will be a big hole in my life that was once Icknield". Icknield Walk First School's current headteacher is Jane Sherwood, who has been in post since September 2009. Awards and achievements In June 2011, Icknield Walk First School's tennis team reached the County Finals of the Hertfordshire Schools Partnership Mini-Tennis competition. The school's most recent inspection by Ofsted, the inspection and regulation body for schools in England, took place in July 2014. The subsequent report assessed the school as 'Outstanding'. At the start of the 2014/15 school year, the school held a special activity afternoon, with a bouncy castle and ice lollies, so that its pupils could celebrate the achievement. Headteacher Jane Sherwood said: "We are particularly pleased to achieve an outstanding grade in all areas – this is particularly difficult under the current inspection framework. […] The activity afternoon is our way of saying thank you and well done to the children who work hard and always try their best, behave so well and are rightly proud to belong to our school." Icknield Walk's previous full Ofsted inspection in 2009 had concluded that overall, "This is a good and improving school. Pupils progress well and often attain standards that are above average in English, mathematics and science by the time they leave the school". A subsequent interim assessment in 2012 concluded, "the school's performance has been sustained and that we can defer its next full inspection". In July 2015, Icknield Walk First School won first place in the Royston in Bloom 'Grow a Menu' competition. Reporting the victory in The Royston Crow, reporter Rebecca Day noted the judges "were 'highly impressed' by the school's enthusiasm and determination
