A school has been removed from the special supervision imposed two years ago after being criticised for the standard of teaching.

Ofsted inspectors said Wykeham Primary School in Aboyne Road, Neasden, have praised the hard work of staff, pupils, parents and Brent Council for helping turn the school around.

The school was removed from ñspecial measuresî following a gruelling inspection in May 10 which confirmed the improved quality of teaching, a sharp raise in grades and an increased use of IT.

BrentÍs chief inspector of schools, Rose Johnson, said: ñIt is not easy for a school to come off special measures. It can only be achieved by hard work of people who are committed to making a better school for pupils.î

Wykeham Primary headteacher Hans Formella said: ñThis is wonderful news for all the staff who have worked so hard to improve the standards at Wykeham. The Governors., Lea and parents have supported us throughout and this has proved to be essential.

ñThe children also deserve a lot of praise for the way they have responded to the challenges we have set them and for the progress they have made.
