'Ambitious leadership' was among the many positives highlighted in the latest Ofsted inspection for an improving Tamworth primary school.
The Kingsbury Primary School received a glowing report from the government watchdog which gave the Bromage Avenue place of learning a 'good' overall rating.
During the unannounced visit on Tuesday, July 11, and Wednesday, July 12, inspectors rated the school's 'leadership', 'teaching', 'behaviour' and 'outcomes' as good.
This comes less than a year after the school, which has 291 pupils, was rated as 'requires improvement' in April 2016.
The report said: "Improved teaching has led to pupils being more confident in their own learning abilities.
"School values are evident in how pupils engage with each other and with adults. British values, including democracy and liberty, are taught well. As a result, pupils have a good understanding of tolerance and respect and what it means to live in a democratic society.
"Disadvantaged pupils are making good progress in reading, writing and mathematics. Specific teaching support for disadvantaged pupils of all abilities enables them to achieve well.
"The indoor and outdoor learning environments promote children's imagination and curiosity well. Children are encouraged, and enabled, to follow their own interests. The environments help to ensure that children are kept safe, and promote good behaviour and attitudes to learning."
While all areas of teaching and pupils' behaviour was commended by Ofsted, inspectors gave the school some pointers to ensure an 'outstanding' rating next time.
The report added: "The school needs to improve teaching, so that pupils make better progress through Key Stage 1, by checking that pupils who need to make faster progress than their peers accurately apply their grammar, punctuation and spelling skills in their writing.
"They need to strengthen leadership and management by ensuring that senior leaders check that pupils with different starting points are making the progress expected of them."
