The education watchdog visited Bilston Church of England Primary School in July and found it continued to be "good", a result it has maintained for almost a decade.

In their report, inspectors noted that the "well-being and care" of pupils was at the heart of the Albany Crescent school.

They found leaders have "high ambitions" for every youngster and want them to be the "best they can be".

Inspectors praised the school for the support given to pupils who speak English as an additional language and said lessons were "calm and orderly".

The report further noted the school had employed a speech and language specialist to support children, such as those joining partway through the year, which allows them to "quickly catch up".
