Following a visit last month Ofsted has ranked Eastfield Primary School as good overall - while its leadership team was praised for its 'relentless focus on continual improvement'.
Inspector Helen Davies said that the leadership team, under the guidance of headteacher Sarah Hay, 'have high expectations' for pupils and have maintained the good quality of education since the Colliery Road school's last inspection in 2013.
According to the report there is a 'strong moral commitment, at every level, to ensuring pupils achieve their potential', while there is 'relentless focus on continual improvement' and which has led to 'good quality teaching across the school'.

It says teachers have created 'a vibrant environment which celebrates pupils' work' with 'welcoming classrooms' which contain a wealth of helpful resources to support learning.
Pupils themselves described as 'happy at school and enjoy their learning'.
They behave well, learn to concentrate from an early stage and are well mannered towards adults. Inspectors found a 'strong culture of safeguarding and pupil welfare is at the heart of the school'.
Mrs Hay said: "I am really proud to work at Eastfield Primary and am delighted that Ofsted has recognised us once again as a 'good' school."
Councillor Claire Darke, Wolverhampton council's cabinet member for education, said: "This is a very pleasing report which demonstrates the good standard of education pupils are receiving at Eastfield Primary School.
"I would like to congratulate Sarah Hay and her leadership team, as well as the governing body, pupils and parents on their success.
"I am sure that their relentless focus on continual improvement identified by inspectors will bring about even better outcomes for children in the months and years ahead."
