Banners were unfurled as a school celebrated its success in a recent Ofsted inspection.

Claremont High School, in Kenton, has become the first school in Brent to achieve an outstanding report from Ofsted under its new framework.

Inspectors visited the school on May 13 and 14, and have now released a report which ranks the school as 'outstanding' - the second time it has received the top rating.

The inspection team judged the school to be outstanding in all categories, including leadership and management, behaviour and safety of pupils, quality of teaching, achievement of pupils and Sixth Form provision.

Headteacher Terry Molloy said: “We are absolutely delighted that the Ofsted inspection team has recognised the amazing work that is carried out at our school.

“Whilst it has been a challenging inspection, the team did a very effective job of reporting a broad and balanced evaluation of our school.

“It was a very proud yet humbling experience to hear a group of external reviewers talk so passionately and positively about our school.”
