A primary school in Ipswich is celebrating its achievements after receiving a positive Ofsted report which highlighted early years provision as outstanding.
Murrayfield Primary Academy in Nacton Road was visited by the education watchdog in January, and inspectors found the school to have a number of strengths.
They noted that all provisions including the quality of education, behaviour, attitudes, personal development, leadership and management were all good, while early years was outstanding.
The report notes that early years provision is "exceptionally strong" and there is a "strong provision for pupils' personal development, and high expectations for what all pupils can achieve".
Inspectors noted that pupils "love their school, know and live the school values and enjoy learning because teachers are kind and lessons are interesting".
The school's special educational needs and disabilities provision was also highlighted as being "effective support" for children who require it.
Claire Willis, principal of Murrayfield Primary Academy, said: "We are incredibly proud of this achievement.
"At Murrayfield, we strive to achieve highly and create a safe, engaging and inspiring learning environment, and we are thrilled that Ofsted has recognised our achievements.
"I would like to extend my gratitude to the whole school community for their support."
The school has said it looks forward to building on this success and continuing to deliver "high-quality education that nurtures confident, capable and compassionate learners, so every child receives the best possible start to education".
The school was last inspected in 2019, when Ofsted inspectors found it to be a 'good' school when single word was summations were used until they were changed at the start of the current academic year.
