A primary school in Ipswich is celebrating after receiving a positive Ofsted result following "years of dedicated effort and significant improvements" to turn its outcome around.
Three years ago, Rose Hill Primary School in Derby Road was rated 'requires improvement'.
But following an inspection across two days in January this year, the education watchdog has found Rose Hill to be 'good' in all areas.
Inspectors found that "warm and respectful relationships are aplenty" at the school and staff care "deeply for pupils and know them as individuals".
They also found that that pupils at the school benefit from the "many improvements the school has made" and as a result of these improvements, pupils learn well.
Georgina Bright, the school's principal, said: "We are delighted that after years of dedicated effort and significant improvements, the school has received a positive Ofsted report.
"This achievement is attributed to the unwavering support of the entire school community including parents, the trust board and governors, who have played an integral role in the school's transformation."
The report goes on to praise the school's welcoming atmosphere stating those who join the school part way through the year are "welcomed with open arms by their soon-to-be friends".
The curriculum was also praised, stating it is "carefully designed to help pupils learn important knowledge as they move through the school".
There is also a personal development programme that "helps pupils develop their understanding beyond the academic curriculum."
Miss Bright added: "This milestone marks a new chapter for Rose Hill Primary, as it continues its journey towards excellence in education".
