FARMOR'S School in Fairford has received a positive report from Government Ofsted inspectors.

Their report found that exam results were higher than average, behaviour was excellent, with pupils eager to learn, and management was good.

Twelve inspectors who visited the school in April praised teachers for achieving good results despite being poorly funded.

They also said the school helps pupils grow into courteous, mature and responsible people.

Last year's GCSE results were well above the national average but inspectors found that although a high number of students scored A grades at A-level, a smaller proportion gained A to C grades when compared to similar schools.

Commenting on the sixth form, the report said attainment was above average, adding, "teaching and learning are good, and students' needs are well met by the range of courses available".

The report also highlighted areas which could be improved.

The school failed to meet statutory requirements for IT provision, and accommodation was found to be inadequate in some areas.
