    New Park Primary Academy on Skipton Road in Harrogate has received a 'good' Ofsted rating in a report published today.

    The report describes the school as "welcoming and friendly" and says it ensure pupils "get the support they need from the moment they start".

    It described the curriculum as "ambitious", says children feel safe and leaders are "enthusiastic about their roles".

    It adds:

    "Pupils settle quickly into the life of the school. Pupil buddies help those who are new to learn the school’s routines. They enjoy making friends.
    "Most pupils achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities."


    New Park Primary Academy is operated by Northern Star Academies Trust.

    The trust has nine schools, with five in the Harrogate area. New Park, Harrogate High, Starbeck community primary, Hookstone Chase primary and Willow Tree community primary.

    New Park was rated 'good' at its previous inspection in 2018.

    Headteacher Sasha Bune, who joined in September last year, said:

    "We are really proud to maintain our 'good' judgement. We are happy Ofsted have recognised our ambitions for the school and the how hard all of the staff work.
    "They looked at all areas of the school and saw our warm and nurturing feel and the high expectations the children have for themselves and how well behaved they all are.
    "We have an ambitious curriculum and we are a very inclusive school with a big mix of pupils. We are very well supported by Northern Star Academies Trust and we will carry on being ambitious and keep on learning."
