A Leeds primary school has received an Outstanding Ofsted report after previously being given an Inadequate one.
Bramley Park Academy received praise for being "exemplary" with inspectors highlighting the strong curriculum and good behaviour of pupils. The school became an Academy in 2018 and part of the Wellspring Academy Trust after receiving the Inadequate rating in 2017.
In the previous report, the school was criticised for pupils not making sufficient progress as well as the leadership not acting quickly enough to deal with the decline in their standards.
Now, the inspectors are much more positive. They said: "There are no limits to the ambition that leaders and staff have for them. Pupils enjoy coming to school and live and breathe the school’s vision to ‘believe, persevere and achieve’.
"Leaders have an unswerving commitment to serving pupils, families and the community. They believe that every pupil can achieve great things."
They added: "Behaviour in lessons and around school is exemplary. Pupils are polite and welcoming. They enjoy learning and are engaged and attentive in lessons."
The inspectors also complimented the school on its curriculum. They described it as "highly ambitious and impressive", with pupils making "impressive progress" with the children "confident and independent".
Carrie Green, Executive Principal at Bramley Park Academy, said: "Everyone involved in Bramley Park Academy is absolutely thrilled with this report. The whole team has worked incredibly hard over the past four and half years to create a school which is, as the inspectors put it, ‘exceptional.’
"Not only do we wrap all the children in love and care, we are ambitious for them and enable them to reach their full potential, and it is wonderful to have that recognised externally.
"Bramley Park Academy has been on a real journey since joining Wellspring Academy Trust in 2018. It has gone through a huge transformation and is now a school that parents and carers can have 100% confidence in and pupils adore attending. With the support of the Trust, we are providing the top quality, inspiring education that every child deserves."
Mark Wilson, CEO at the Wellspring Academy Trust, also said: "Whilst Ofsted reports can only ever tell a fraction of the story about a school, this report is another important landmark in the transformational tale of Bramley Park Academy.
"Under Carrie Green’s superb leadership and her team’s commitment to constant improvement, Bramley Park has gone from strength to strength. The quality of education and care offered to every pupil, whatever their circumstances, is second to none and I am incredibly proud that Bramley Park Academy is part of our Wellspring family."
