King James' School in Knaresborough has been rated 'good' by Ofsted in a report published today.
Government inspectors visited the 1,575-pupil school for the first time in six years on January 10 this year.
They described it as a "caring environment where pupils learn well" with "a strong focus on ensuring that everyone feels welcome".
The report says the "vast majority of pupils are keen and engage confidently in their learning" and bullying is rare.
It adds the school, which dates back to 1616, supports children with special educational needs "extremely well", enables sixth form students to "flourish" and organises "a rich range of extra-curricular visits".
Staff are praised for their "excellent subject knowledge" and safeguarding is described as "effective".
