Staff and pupils at a Great Yarmouth school have been praised for making educational improvements followings its transformation from a first school to an infant school.
St George's Infant and Nursery School has been given a good rating by impressed Ofsted inspectors following a two day site visit last month.
Ofsted said that because of the staff, governors and 209 pupils' hard work the quality of teaching and attendance levels had improved and that there was a very caring ethos at the school.
The report singles out headteacher Anne Robinson for praise by saying 'The outstanding leadership of the headteacher, support well by staff, ensures that the development of every child is given high priority.
'The governors have invested heavily in maintaining high staffing levels. These are used successfully to support any pupils who are not on track to achieve well.
'Teaching is consistently good and has improved considerably since the last inspection.'
