Children and staff from a village school are celebrating being ranked as outstanding by assessors.
Wolviston Primary School in Billingham received the highest rating possible following its latest inspection by education watchdog Ofsted.
The report praised its “rich and vibrant” curriculum, teaching and leadership. The school improved on its previous inspection in 2009 when it was rated good.
Headteacher Maria Carlton said: “We are all absolutely delighted with our outstanding judgment from Ofsted. We are a small village school who pride ourselves on our family ethos and everyone has played their part: staff, children, parents and governors.”
Inspectors found the quality of teaching, achievement and behaviour of pupils and its leadership and management were all of the highest standard.
The report states: “Teachers use their excellent knowledge to plan work that stretches all pupils, including the most able. Lessons are interesting and capture the imagination of pupils and ignite their love of learning. Pupils’ attitudes and work ethic are exemplary and they make rapid progress as a result.”
Reading standards are also well above average.
“Teachers are not afraid to try out new ideas, but at the same time there are extremely secure routines and excellent planning that make sure all pupils achieve the highest possible standards, particularly in English and mathematics,” the report states.
Virtually all of the parents said they would recommend the school to another parent.
Ofsted says the pupils are proud ambassadors and show a high level of care for each other.
They have a good understanding of different forms of bullying and older pupils act as playground friends.
Mrs Carlton said the school will continue to strive for the best standards adding: “Things never stop in education.”
