CHILDREN in the early years at Stanbury Village School, near Keighley, make outstanding progress, say Ofsted inspectors.

Inspectors said the school’s younger pupils learned at a fast pace because they were given a wide range of stimulating and challenging activities.

Inspectors added that the standards met by older pupils, as they reached the end of their time at Stanbury, were also above average.

Head teacher Graham Swinbourne said: “I’m pleased with how well the children are doing. They consistently score well above average.”
