A primary school has received glowing feedback in its latest Ofsted report.
East Morton CE Primary School, part of the Bradford Diocesan Academies Trust, has been praised for its "ambitious and caring" approach that helps pupils thrive academically, socially and emotionally, with inspectors commending its focus on inclusion and support for children facing additional challenges.
Headteacher Anne Proctor said: "We are delighted with this report.
"It recognises the dedication of our staff, governors, pupils and families who work together to create a school community where every child is valued and encouraged to flourish.
"The strong judgements across achievement, early years, inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development and well-being reflect our commitment to providing an exceptional education alongside outstanding care and support.
"We are particularly pleased that inspectors recognised our inclusive ethos and the many opportunities we provide to help children grow in confidence, character and resilience."
Ofsted inspectors highlighted the school’s ‘TRIBE’ curriculum, which stands for Thrive, Respect, Imagine, Belong, and Explore, and is designed to build character, resilience, and perseverance through meaningful learning experiences.
The curriculum was praised for promoting equality and respect, helping pupils develop into "respectful and caring young citizens."
The report also noted that pupils achieve well, show secure understanding across subjects, and are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
A ‘strong’ judgement was given for early years provision, with inspectors commending the nurturing environment, high expectations, and tailored support that helps children transition successfully into Key Stage 1.
Leadership and governance at the school were praised for leaders' "clear vision and unwavering focus on delivering high-quality education and supporting pupil well-being," with inspectors noting that "leaders place pupils at the centre of decision-making."
A culture of positivity, good behaviour, and increasing independence as pupils move through the school was also highlighted by inspectors.
Enrichment opportunities such as clubs, residential visits, and enterprise projects were praised for helping pupils develop teamwork, confidence, and leadership skills.
Carol Dewhurst OBE, chief executive officer at BDAT, said: "This is a fantastic achievement and a well-deserved recognition of the exceptional work taking place at East Morton CE Primary School.
"The report reflects a school where children flourish because of the dedication, ambition and care shown by the entire school community.
"The strong judgements across so many areas are a testament to the commitment of staff, governors and families, and we are immensely proud of all they have accomplished."
