A SCHOOL is celebrating after coming out of special measures in less than a year.

Ings Community Primary and Nursery School, in Skipton, will open its doors to prospective families next week so they can see what it has to offer.

The school, in the town’s Broughton Road, was put into special measures towards the end of November last year after it was judged inadequate by inspectors.

Headteacher Donna Makepeace said she was thrilled and that staff, leaders and governors were now all united to drive improvement further so that the school could offer the highest standards of teaching and learning to local children.

As a result Ings primary is holding an open week from next Monday to Friday between 9.30am and 11.30 am. Please contact the school on 01756 793159 to arrange a visit.
