STAFF and children at an Oxfordshire school are celebrating after being recognised for their good work.

Ofsted rated Fritwell Primary School, near Bicester, as “good” following its latest inspection.

Inspectors visited the school last month and were happy with the school across the board – with pupil achievement, teaching, leadership and management, and behaviour and safety all rated good.

In the last inspection in 2010 the school was deemed satisfactory.

Headteacher Joanne Daly said: “We are very proud and pleased with the outcome, and the recognition that we expect only the best for the pupils.

“We have successfully improved teaching and pupils’ achievement since the last inspection.

“Our pupils were acknowledged in the report as being ‘confident and articulate young people who show good respect for others’. The report also identifies that pupils make good progress over time in the school.”

The school’s governors were also praised as a “driving force” behind the improvements.
