STAFF and pupils at a primary school are celebrating after its last Ofsted report praised it for being good in all areas.

Hothfield Junior School's leadership and management, quality of teaching and learning, pupils’ results and the personal development, behaviour and welfare of children were all praised.

Later this year the school will merge with Aire View Infant School to become Silsden Primary School.

Head teacher James Procter said: “I am proud of our pupils, parents and staff who make this school very special for the Silsden community.

“I am particularly pleased that the teaching of maths has been highlighted as a strength of the school, as we are aiming to become a centre of excellence in teaching the subject.”

Mr Procter added: “Aire View Infants School has been inspected by Ofsted recently and was also found to be good. Later this year, our two good schools can come together to form one great primary school for Silsden.”

Councillor Imran Khan, Bradford Council’s executive member for education, employment and skills, said: “Hothfield Junior School’s Ofsted report makes great reading.

"It is positive about the work of the school and the pupils across the board. Huge credit goes to everyone involved in receiving such a good inspection report.”
