A SCHOOL has been judged 'outstanding' following an inspection.
Barnoldswick CE Primary School was rated following a SIAMS inspection, which looks at how schools perform as Church of England schools.
Inspector Malcolm Price said: "The Christian character and caring ethos of the school result from a clear focus on distinctively Christian values and are demonstrated through exemplary relationships.
"Collective worship supports this distinctiveness through a strong values-based programme and through opportunities given to children to participate and engage.
"School leaders provide a rich and nurturing environment based on Christian values. This is enabling all children to thrive personally, with the large majority making excellent progress academically and the more vulnerable being very well supported through targeted intervention strategies."
Headteacher Michelle Ellis said: "It's amazing to be 'Outstanding' in all areas.
"The staff work extremely hard within school, and the SIAMS inspector also noted the excellent progress the children are making academically."
