A primary school has been given cause for celebration as it has been awarded a positive watchdog rating. St Michael's CE Primary School in Great Lever has been given 'good' rating by Ofsted after a recent inspection. The school, which has had the rating since 2010, underwent the ungraded inspection on July 2 and 3 this year.
Now, the education watchdog has said that if the school were to undergo a graded inspection, it would have received a 'good' rating. In the report, His Majesty's Inspector Mark Enser said: "Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy coming to this friendly and welcoming school. They are taught the importance of kindness and respect and demonstrate these values every day.
"In lessons, pupils work hard as they want to do well. They enjoy learning new things. This includes learning about the many different cultures represented in the school.
"Pupils happily learn about the differences between people. They are encouraged to ask questions and to be curious about the world. "The school has high expectations for what pupils can achieve.
Pupils easily meet these expectations . They consistently produce high-quality work, and they discuss what they have learned with confidence."
