Executive Headteacher Karole Sargent praised the ‘remarkable’ achievement by everyone involved.
She said: “This outcome is made all the more remarkable because the inspection regime is now much tougher than ever with Ofsted planning to cut the number of outstanding schools by half or more.”
Ms Sargent also revealed some details of the Ofsted report.
She said: “The inspection report praises all areas of the school and in particular states: Pupils are extremely positive about their school.
“They say there is a real sense of community.

She added: “The school has strong Christian values and a belief in perseverance and optimism.
“This, along with a ‘can do’ attitude, ensures that pupils apply grit and never give up.”
Some of the key findings in the Ofsted report were:
“School leaders have created a culture of high expectations for pupils and staff and this is why achievement is so high.”
“All groups of pupils achieve well across the school. Disadvantaged pupils, those who have special educational needs and the most able make rapid progress.”
