YORK'S Joseph Rowntree School has been commended by inspectors, but told there is still room for improvement.
Fifteen Ofsted inspectors visited the school and observed 200 lessons back in October, and published a 60-page report earlier this month.
The school was praised for its quality of education and achievement by students, sixth-form provision and links with industry and the community.
Areas to work on included finding further ways to improve the behaviour of a small minority, monitoring punctuality and attendance and more investment in ICT.
Head teacher Hugh Porter said: "I am pleased with the inspection report. It recognises the quality of the staff, the positive contribution of the vast majority of our students and the support of governors and parents. "
