Staff and students at Hawes Primary School are celebrating a glowing report from Ofsted.
Inspectors concluded after a visit in November that the school had “taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection” when the school was rated good.
Their report concluded “Pupils at Hawes Primary School are proud of their school and their community.
“Pupils of all ages get along well, with older pupils supporting younger ones. The school prioritises pupils’ well-being. It has a strong family feel, where pupils genuinely care for each other.
“Pupils show kindness and respect to adults and to each other.”
It added: “The school has high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour. Pupils thrive academically, socially and emotionally in the school’s supportive and engaging environment. Pupils feel safe and are cared for. They welcome the chance to build new friendships with each other in their small school community.”
Head of school Andrea Caygill said the school was very proud of the report.
She added: “It reflects the family feel of our small rural school and the hard work and dedication of all our staff in preparing our children for their role in an ever-changing modern world.
“We are grateful for the amazing support of our wider school community including parents, governors and members of the local area.”
Chair of governors Abbie Rhodes said: “The governors are thrilled that the Ofsted report reflects the incredible hard work that the staff and leadership team put into the school.
“On the day, inspectors could see for themselves how happy and confident our pupils are, and recognised the positive impact the school makes on the children’s personal growth, well-being, values and behaviours.
“The children were absolute stars all day, their behaviour was impeccable, and they should be really proud of themselves.”
