AN East Yorkshire primary school has been taken out of special measures.

Ofsted inspectors have ruled that significant progress has been been made since a previous inspection at Bridlington’s Hilderthorpe Primary School which described it as “inadequate.”

Although the school is still ranked as requiring improvement, inspectors who visited it last month found it no longer requires special measures because of the improvements that have already been made.

The latest Ofsted report says the behaviour and safety of pupils is ‘good.’ However, it says that further improvements are still required. Although teaching quality has improved, there is still inconsistency.

Pupils are making better progress in their learning, but the picture is still mixed across the school.
