Grove Road Community Primary School in Harrogate has retained its ‘good’ rating by Ofsted.
The findings were published in a report today, following an inspection in October.
Grove Road was previously rated ‘good’ in 2018. Ofsted carries out short routine inspections every four years to confirm schools previously assessed as ‘good’ have maintained standards.
Government inspectors said the pupils at the 307-pupil school are “happy, friendly and confident” and have “positive attitudes to learning.”
It added:
Ofsted praised the school for its “coherently planned and sequenced curriculum” and said it breaks learning into small steps.
Inspectors also said that in some subjects, such as maths, pupils can “talk about their learning confidently” and show how their knowledge is building over time.
The school “quickly identifies” any children with potential special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND), inspectors added, and found those with SEND are “fully included in the life of the school".
They added:
The report said staff are "proud" to work at the school.
