Staff at a Burntwood school are celebrating after it was rated good by inspectors.

Ofsted praised the support given to students at Erasmus Darwin Academy.

The report from the inspectors – which has been released following their visit in May – said:

> “Pupils are happy and achieve very well at Erasmus Darwin Academy. This is because leaders and teachers have carefully designed an ambitious curriculum.  
>  
> “Leaders across the school and trust have high expectations for pupils’ academic achievement. Pupils are rising to these expectations thanks to the effective delivery of the curriculum.”  
>  
> Ofsted report

Teaching staff at the school were also praised for going beyond the requirements of the national curriculum.

> “For example, in geography pupils study about Asia and Africa in considerable detail to challenge any misconceptions they might have about the individual countries in these continents.  
>  
> “Leaders have taken action to ensure that all pupils can read well. This includes reading time for all pupils and reading lessons in the library for Years 7 and 8\. These have been effective in establishing a culture of reading.”
