All Saints Catholic School in South Bank which is part of the Middlesbrough academy Nicholas Postgate Catholic Academy Trust (NPCAT) has been rated outstanding by Ofsted following inspections in the Summer and again last month.
Despite the glowing report All Saints has been at the centre of industrial unrest this year with staff who are National Education Union (NEU) union members calling off a strike last month.
In their report inspectors said: "Pupils are immensely proud to attend this caring school where everyone is accepted for who they are. Pupils care deeply for others. They exude tolerance, respect and compassion in all that they do. The school’s values of faith, love and unity underpin every aspect of school life.
"Pupils, including students in the sixth form, thrive at All Saints. Extremely positive relationships with staff support pupils to blossom academically and personally.
"Pupils value the high-quality education that the school offers, and, as a result, they behave impeccably in lessons and around the school site. Sixth-form students act as exemplary role models to others. Pupils eagerly welcome visitors and delight in opportunities to discuss their learning.
