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