A failing school in one of the most deprived parts of England has turned itself around "at a rate of knots", inspectors have found.

Richmond Hill Academy in Burmantofts, Leeds was put into special measures in 2017 after Ofsted raised concerns.

Inspectors said "exceptional leadership" had brought about a transformation and described aspects of the school as "breathtaking".

It was praised for helping parents find jobs as well as providing a food bank.

The academy has 614 pupils aged between three and 11, with 47 different languages spoken among them.
