    Ofsted has praised Boroughbridge Primary School for the way it engages pupils with their learning as it awarded it a 'good' rating.

    A two-day inspection in May found children were well-behaved and polite, showing "positive and attentive" attitudes.

    In their report, the inspector said:

    "Boroughbridge Primary School is a friendly and welcoming place. Pupils feel safe, happy and enjoy their learning.
    "Relationships are a strength of the school. As one pupil put it, ‘We have kind teachers, kind children and lovely school cooks!’
    "Pupils work hard to meet their teachers’ high expectations and do well."


    The inspector found teachers consistently checked pupils' knowledge and what they could remember in lessons. However, she said more could be done to carry out assessments over time to look for and address gaps in knowledge.

    She also found that teachers were not always clear on what pupils should know in each subject area, but said school leaders were already working towards addressing this.

    The report said the school had had a change of leadership recently, with an interim headteacher and deputy head appointed. The inspector added:

    "Leaders have brought about many positive changes to the school in a short space of time. They are developing a broad and ambitious curriculum.
    "Staff are well supported by school leaders and governors. Staff value this. They know that they can ask for help, particularly with workload. Staff appreciate the care and consideration given to their well-being.
    "There is a positive culture of teamwork between leaders, staff and governors."


    Boroughbridge Primary School has 175 pupils aged between three and 11. Its previous inspections in 2017 and 2013 both also gave a 'good' rating.
