March 08 2010

A secondary school in Plymouth is celebrating after it was given the thumbs-up by Ofsted, a local news report has said.

Ivybridge Community College, which is one of only three secondary schools in England to be rated as outstanding in four consecutive Ofsted reports over the past ten years, was honoured at the education watchdog's Outstanding Provider Ceremony in Birmingham, according to the Herald.

Delighted principal Rob Haring said that the prestigious award was "a reflection of the excellent progress" achieved by the school's students at both GCSE and A-level standards as well as a "recognition of the outstanding teaching and learning" and "the excellent care, guidance and support available to all our students."

In other news, education watchdog Ofsted has praised a Churchdown primary school for helping pupils make "good progress," a local news report has said.

Inspectors visited Pardon Junior School in January and rated it as being good with some outstanding features, the Gloucester Citizen has reported.
