Hide AdOne area in which the school could improve is the attendance levels of its pupils.
The inspectors said: “Despite the best efforts of the school and the improvements made so far, there are still too many pupils who miss school regularly.
"This means they are missing the lessons, learning and exciting experiences which they need to achieve well.”
Kingsway’s headteacher Sharon Byrne said the school was proud of the “immensely positive” report.
