"Pupils say that at this school everyone is equal and everyone is welcome.

"This is a school which has been on an exciting, challenging and improving journey in recent years. Leaders across the school and trust have brought about many positive changes.

One area in which the school could improve is the attendance levels of its pupils.

The inspectors said: “Despite the best efforts of the school and the improvements made so far, there are still too many pupils who miss school regularly.

"This means they are missing the lessons, learning and exciting experiences which they need to achieve well.”

Kingsway’s headteacher Sharon Byrne said the school was proud of the “immensely positive” report.

She added: “This is a fantastic achievement for everyone in our school community; to be able to say we have changed the course of the school’s history is something to be immensely proud of.”
