BISHOP Sutton Primary School has been rated 'Good' in all areas by Ofsted.

The inspection, conducted in July, highlighted the school's vision of "where every child can dream, believe and achieve," noting it is reflected in the "ambitious curriculum."

Inspectors also praised the support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

Former headteacher Dieter Cook, who retired at the end of August, said: "The highly successful recent Ofsted inspection at Bishop Sutton is testament to the hard-working team there.

"I really cannot thank staff teams enough for their hard work, dedication and service to children and their families over the last few years."

The school, along with its federated school Stanton Drew, has a new headteacher for this academic year, Tim Eustace.

He said: "I am delighted to be leading both schools and will continue to build on the strong foundations already in place."

This was Bishop Sutton Primary School’s first inspection since becoming an academy and joining the Lighthouse Schools Partnership.

Lighthouse Schools Partnership chief executive Dr Gary Lewis said: "Bishop Sutton’s positive inspection report recognises the passion and commitment of the teachers, leaders and support staff in creating an environment that is safe and welcoming for pupils.

"Our Trust is committed to continuous improvement and under Tim Eustace’s new leadership and with his previous experience of working within other LSP schools, we will continue to see both Bishop Sutton and Stanton Drew schools develop and flourish."
