St George's Beneficial Church of England Primary School, in Hanover Street, is "delighted" with the positive outcome of its most recent Ofsted report following a two day inspection on July 8 and 9 of this year.

The inspection found the school is working at a good level across the board with staff showing "great determination to make sure that the curriculum matches the demands of the national curriculum, meets the needs of pupils and allows pupils to succeed."

The report said: "The school is quick to identify any additional needs that pupils may have. Pupils who speak English as an additional language receive expert teaching to quickly get to grips with the English language.
