Quick Glance: Thames Water Directors Discuss Utility's Future
- The board of Thames Water engaged in crucial discussions as shareholders consider diluting a funding pledge. Shareholders, including the Universities Superannuation Scheme (USS) and China's sovereign wealth fund, may retract hundreds of millions of pounds in promised funding.
- Thames Water, employing about 7,000 people and serving nearly a quarter of the British population, is grappling with over £15 billion in debt. Shareholders had committed to provide £3.25 billion in the coming years, with the initial £750 million slated for this year.
- The shareholders' decision to reduce financial support could leave the heavily indebted company with few viable options to secure its future. Sky News previously reported that Whitehall officials had prepared contingency plans for Thames Water's potential collapse.
- Thames Water, serving 15 million customers in London and the south-east of England, has faced significant pressure due to leaks, sewage contamination, executive pay, and dividends. The prospect of temporary nationalisation in the event of a collapse could cost taxpayers billions.

Hull primary school's turnaround from ‘requiring improvement’ to ‘outstanding’: Collingwood Primary School has welcomed its latest Ofsted rating
hulldailymail.co.uk/news/education/hull-primary-school-celebrates-turnaround-9189936
Quick Glance: Transformation of Hull Primary School to 'Outstanding'
- A primary school in west Hull is celebrating its latest 'outstanding' rating from regulator Ofsted, recognizing the teamwork that has gone into transforming its status.
- A little over two years ago, Collingwood Primary School found itself in the 'requires improvement' doldrums but has since reversed its fortunes, with all areas rated 'outstanding' except for early years provision, which was 'good'.
- Inspectors noted the 'exceptional' education the children receive, the 'caring and nurturing' relationships between staff and pupils, and the 'wide range of enrichment activities' that underpin the curriculum and help build confidence.
- Staff work closely with parents and carers to remove all barriers to learning and build relationships within the community, resulting in highly achieving students with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
