A SCHOOL is celebrating after receiving an outstanding report from inspectors.
St Patrick's RC Comprehensive, in Thornaby, Teesside, won praise and a "very effective" rating from Ofsted inspectors in a report.
The school has 569 pupils, mainly from the Thornaby and Ingleby Barwick areas.
Headteacher Paul Benfield said: "We have a friendly atmosphere here that encourages pupils to do well and I am delighted the inspectors have recognised how much this contributes to the school's success.
"Staff know the pupils well and treat them as individuals, and parents feel at ease whenever they need to contact the school.
"They have high expectations for children to do their best and, in turn, the pupils are keen to learn.
"Our good exam results reflect their enthusiasm and show just how keen they are."
