Quotes from The Inspection Report for Ebor Gardens Primary School in Leeds, which took place in September 2008.

This inner city school is average in size but numbers are rising steadily. Half the pupils are from minority ethnic backgrounds, which is well above average. Pupils of Black African origin are the largest group and 15% of all pupils are asylum seekers, some of whom have gained refugee status. A large proportion of pupils join or leave the school during each term. There are 33 different languages spoken by pupils. The percentage of pupils speaking English as an additional language ranges from 67% to 40% in any one class. The proportion of pupils entitled to free school meals is very high. The proportion with learning difficulties and/or disabilities is also very high.

Overall effectiveness of the school: Grade 1
This is an outstanding school…
…The school's exceptionally detailed tracking of pupils' progress clearly demonstrates that pupils' achievement from their very low starting points is outstanding. Pupils who have remained at the school from Year 2 do particularly well, benefiting from the support provided in the literacy and numeracy instructional groups. Pupils from Year 2 to Year 6 are grouped for English and mathematics lessons after an assessment of their reading skills. This ensures that all pupils, including those at the early stages of learning English, are provided with the support they need to succeed.
… The impact of teaching on learning is highly effective. Detailed evaluations of how well pupils are doing every eight weeks and the excellent range of support programmes for those identified as falling behind are significant factors in the exceptional progress pupils make during their time in school.
