A Teesside girls school has been praised by inspectors in a report.
The report on Teesside Preparatory and High School, in Eaglescliffe, found that "the overall standard of teaching was good or very good".
A team of eight from the Independent Schools Inspectorate visited the private school in November.
Inspectors said: "The level of academic attainment is high throughout the school, and pupils are well motivated, and display a positive attitude to their studies.
"They enjoy good relationships with each other and with their teachers."
During the inspection, each school department was visited by inspectors who observed a total of 146 lessons during the week. They also visited staff and school council meetings, and oversaw pupils' extra curricular activities.
Malcolm Smith, chairman of the school governors, said: "The report recognises the contribution to the school's success made by the headmistress and the staff, who show a strong commitment to the school's development."
