A SCHOOL in Redcar has been praised by Government inspectors for its improvement over the past two years.
In particular, teaching at West Redcar Community School was singled out for praise.
The Ofsted report said: "This is an effective school because leadership is very strong, and teaching enables students to learn and make at least satisfactory progress."
There has been a "significant" improvement in GCSE results, with the school exceeding its 2000 targets for the proportion of students achieving five or more A* to C grades.
After a critical inspection in 1998, the report said: "Improvements have been satisfactory, and the school no longer has serious weaknesses."
Headteacher Stuart Rees said: "The school has made great strides in the last two years, and we are delighted that the inspection team confirms that belief. We're a good and effective school."
