A SCHOOL-BASED children’s club has been praised by an education watchdog.

Ofsted has handed Yellow Birds, based at Longshaw Primary School in Longshaw Road, Chingford, a ‘good’ rating following an inspection.

A report highlighted effective management and the extent to which the club develops children’s skills.

It added: “All children enjoy playing together and they have a mutual respect for each other and all the staff.

“Their behaviour is managed well by the manager and staff and subsequently children show confidence and high levels of self-esteem.”

The club was, however, asked to improve its attendance records.
