St Peter’s Church of England Primary School in Harrogate has received a ‘good’ Ofsted rating.
The school was inspected in March and the newly released report said St Peter’s is “a welcoming and friendly school” where children are taught “an ambitious curriculum” and “‘enjoy their learning and achieve well”.
Inspectors noted the adaptation of lessons to provide effective support for all children including those with additional needs and those for whom English is an additional language.
They added children “talk with maturity about a range of issues”, “show empathy and care for each other” and that there is, “a range of opportunities for children to develop their talents and interests”.
Paul Griffiths, headteacher at St Peter’s CE Primary School, said;
“It is privilege to lead a wonderful team of dedicated and hardworking professionals who work tirelessly to provide the very best for children and their families.
“I am immensely grateful to the whole staff team for all they do. As a school we are very fortunate to have a hugely supportive parent body and wonderful children who help to make St Peter’s a very special place. We look forward to building on the many positives from the recent inspection to continue to improve our facilities and provision for the benefit of all.”
