A Ripon primary school has been praised by Ofsted after inspectors said pupils "thrive academically and socially."
Outwood Primary Academy Greystone received a 'strong standard' grading across all areas inspected following a two-day Ofsted visit on 23 and 24 June.
Inspectors described the school as "a place where pupils feel safe and valued," adding that it is a "friendly and supportive school" where children flourish both academically and socially.
The report found that pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged children, make strong progress from their individual starting points.
Inspectors also praised behaviour across the school, describing classrooms as "an oasis of calm" where pupils are focused and engaged in their learning.
The report said pupils leave the school well prepared for secondary education, with secure knowledge and skills in reading, writing and mathematics.
Sam McCarthy, Head of School at Outwood Primary Academy Greystone, said:
"We are absolutely thrilled with our latest Ofsted report, which beautifully reflects the dedication, hard work, and passion of our entire school community.
"Every day, our staff go above and beyond to ensure the absolute best outcomes for our children, and I am incredibly proud that their tireless efforts, alongside our pupils' wonderful achievements, have been officially recognised in such a glowing way.
"This success belongs to everyone: our talented staff, our inspiring children, and our wonderfully supportive families.
"I'd like to thank them all for their continued partnership as we keep striving for excellence."
Among the other highlights, Ofsted found that pupils with SEND receive the support they need to make rapid progress, attendance is consistently above the national average and warm relationships between staff and pupils help children feel they belong.
Inspectors also noted that staff morale is high, parents speak positively about the school and pupils develop a strong understanding of diversity and the wider world.
