'Good' rating for 'caring and friendly' Boroughbridge school
Ofsted has given Kirby Hill Church of England Primary School a 'good' rating for the first time since March 2011.
Inspectors published the report yesterday after a visit to the school last month. They rated the 120-pupil school 'good' in all areas. 'Good' is the second highest of four possible ratings, with 'outstanding' the best.
It follows two previous 'requires improvement' Ofsted ratings in 2016 and 2018.
Leaders at the school, the report says, have "galvanised the staff team and secured improvements to the quality of education and pupils' behaviour."
The report said:
Staff have won praise for the improvement.
