Ofsted inspectors have praised St Francis of Assisi Catholic School in Aldridge, describing it is 'outstanding'.
Inspectors reported that it's outstanding with excellent provision and achievement in the sixth form.In particular Ofsted inspectors highlighted the school's motto 'Nil Satis Optimum' saying it is very apt as the school really believes that 'nothing but the best will do'.
Both the teachers and the effectiveness and efficiency of the sixth form received a Grade One.
St Francis head teacher Philomena Mullins' leadership qualities were also singled out for praise.
Inspectors said: 'the leadership has created a community and learning environment in which young people and adults can flourish. The headteacher leads from the front and by personal example, embodying the caring Catholic ethos of the school and a quest for continuing improvement'.
Mrs Mullins paid tribute to her staff, saying: "Our recent Ofsted and Diocesan RE inspection successes, where we achieved the top grade of 'outstanding' for each, is testimony to the dedication and commitment of our staff, governors and students.
"At St Francis, we have always set high expectations for ourselves and have developed a strong sense of community here.
"We are delighted that our hard work has been recognised by both inspection teams.
"The reaction of our students in particular is one of immense pride in their school and we have received many letters of congratulations from parents to say how pleased they, too, are with our inspection outcomes."
