A Norfolk school has been praised for its "strong culture of learning" after inspectors said it had successfully addressed previous areas for improvement.
In its latest Ofsted report, Robert Kett Primary School in Wymondham was found to meet the expected standard, with inspectors highlighting a well-structured and ambitious curriculum following its move to Unity Schools Partnership.
Staff were recognised for forging "positive relationships" with pupils and encouraging them to "think more deeply," while the school’s ethos and high expectations were also commended.
Headteacher Miss Fahy said: "The inspection highlighted the positive relationships across the school, the ambition we have for all pupils and the strong culture of learning that helps children to thrive both academically and personally.
"We are particularly proud that inspectors recognised our caring ethos, high expectations and the inclusive environment we have created - where every child is known, valued and supported to succeed."
Inspectors noted recent improvements in special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision and inclusion, although both remain areas for further development.
The report found that learning is "not always adapted well enough in some subjects," and that information from checks on disadvantaged pupils is not always used "precisely enough," which "slows the learning of some pupils."
However, Ofsted also highlighted a positive professional culture, with high-quality staff training and prompt action taken to address any bullying concerns.
Teachers have received additional training to ensure phonics is delivered consistently, following a "slight dip" in Year 1 results, with targeted support now in place.
Pupils were described as particularly confident in history and mathematics, and "keen to share achievements" in these subjects.
Overall, inspectors praised the school’s progress, noting that "pupils live the school’s vision of ‘achieving together’ each day."
Miss Fahy added: "While we are pleased with this recognition, we remain focused on continuous improvement and ensuring that every pupil receives an exceptional educational experience. We look forward to building on this success in the years ahead."
