TEACHERS at a Herefordshire school are "delighted" by the results of their first Ofsted inspection in 15 years.

In a recent report from Ofsted, a Church of England Primary School has been described as a place where pupils flourish, and where leaders care deeply about pupils.

The inspection of Kingsland CE Primary School took place over two days in mid-January, and was the first full inspection since 2007.

The Ofsted inspection rated the school as ‘good’ overall with ‘outstanding’ ratings for behaviour and attitudes and personal development.

Headteacher Stewart Debenham said “We are delighted that the inspectors recognised the high levels of academic achievement and inclusivity within the school, as well as how well the children flourish socially and emotionally.”

The report states: “Pupils work hard, treat others with respect and broaden their skills and talents through the many opportunities offered.

All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged, achieve at a high level in reading, writing and mathematics.

Pupils’ conduct around school and their attitudes to learning are excellent.

Leaders are committed to offering a rich and diverse education beyond the classroom.
