"The inspection recognises the rich curriculum and wide range of opportunities we offer children - as well as the support we provide to pupils' personal development.”
The inspectors found that pupils are very happy at school, enjoy their lessons and feel that everyone is included and treated fairly.
The report read: “Pupils are very happy at school. They enjoy their lessons and feel that everyone is included and treated fairly. Pupils feel safe. They understand and follow the school rules of ‘ready, respectful, safe’. They are confident that school staff would always listen to any worries they had and get them any help they needed.”

It also recognised the needs of pupils with SEND and those who are disadvantaged are kept at the heart of the school’s thinking; ensuring pupils with SEND get the right support both within the school and from external experts where appropriate.
Miss Bowers added: “We have been on a journey of improvement and this report recognises our achievements so far. This is not the end of the journey however and I am excited about our future plans as we continue working to provide the best possible education for every child.
"I would like to thank all the Georgian Gardens staff, governors, families and volunteers for all their hard work and support - and of course, our pupils who make Georgian Gardens such an amazing and happy school.”
