Headmistress Shirley Shaylar said: "The inspectors were very pleased with all that they saw and it is clear from the report that our staff are doing a wonderful job by providing children with an excellent all-round education.
"As with any inspection there are issues for the school to attend to and I am pleased to say that these are already being addressed.
"But it was wonderful to see highlighted what fantastic pupils we have here at Stonar."
But a bit sad that you should have to pay to get a decent education, and to keep your child away from the louts in comprehensives. These kids get good jobs, earn decent salaries, send THEIR kids to private schools, and so it goes on.
