Rosh Pinah Primary School in Edgware has restored its reputation as a good school less than a year and a half after inspectors branded it "inadequate" .

Ofsted praised the “resilience and hard work” of its governors in tackling previously identified weaknesses in a new report this week.

Andrew Rotenberg, the chairman of the state-aided primary with 443 pupils, said “I’m obviously delighted – but not surprised. We’ve been pushing for a new inspection for months and I took the unusual step of formally requesting one.”

Governors turned to outside education agency Lilac Sky in March 2014 , which brought in head teacher Angela Gartland, to help run it.
