A Hornchurch primary school that "never gets boring" has been given a 'good' rating by Ofsted.
The education standards watchdog has released its report following an inspection of Suttons Primary School in Suttons Lane.
A school inspection report was conducted on July 11, with the report being made available to the public in September.
According to inspectors, the education facility "continues to be a good school".
The dynamic at Suttons Primary is said to be "like a family where everyone knows each other very well".
In the inspection report, Ofsted has noted being told by pupils that "it never gets boring" and that they "learn fun things every day".
The school was last visited by Ofsted in 2019 when it underwent a short inspection.
It has maintained a 'good' rating since 2007, according to the Ofsted records.
Inspectors said: "Pupils are appreciative of staff at the school. If pupils struggle with their work, staff will go over it again. Pupils value the excellent resources that they have in school to help them learn."
Amongst other positive observations in the report, inspectors noted that students "genuinely love to read".
Reception classes at Suttons Primary start with a story, Ofsted found, and a healthy competition between classrooms is fostered.

One of the goals shared by pupils is to become "word millionaires" as they compare the number of words and books they have read.
Inspectors also praised the opportunities offered by the school for pupils' wider development, including trips to the Tower of London and Houses of Parliament.
Behaviour was also hailed, with Ofsted adding: "The school is tenacious in its approach to behaviour and attendance.
"Pupils behave with courtesy and respect for others. Typically, their attendance is positive because they do not want to miss out on important learning."
The feedback from inspectors notes that a new curriculum is not yet fully embedded into the content of lessons.
The report read: "The school should ensure that the new curriculum is firmly embedded, and that staff have the training and support they need to deliver it confidently."
Suttons Primary School was approached for a comment but did not respond.
