A north Norfolk high school where "pupils thrive" has received a glowing report by Ofsted.
North Walsham High School has been rated Good by the education watchdog after its first inspection since becoming an academy in 2019.
The school was previously told it required improvement, but Ofsted's latest report praised the school for making "significant improvements to the quality of education".
The secondary school, which is part of the Enrich Learning Trust, was rated Good across the board - and Outstanding for its leadership and management.
The report said: "Pupils are proud to be members of this flourishing school community.
"At North Walsham High, pupils thrive.
"Since the previous inspection, school leaders and the new trust have made significant improvements to the quality of education. The ambitious curriculum is well designed to meet the needs of all pupils.

"Ongoing training is of a high quality and carefully matched to staff’s needs. This ensures that teachers are able to deliver the curriculum effectively.
"Across the curriculum, pupils achieve very well. However, in key stage three, sometimes teachers are not sufficiently precise in identifying what pupils know or can do. This means some teachers move on before all pupils have understood what is being taught."

Headteacher James Gosden said: "Everyone involved in the school including staff, pupils and our local families should all be incredibly proud.
"Over the past three and a half years everyone has worked tremendously hard to make the school successful and the report is a clear testament to this hard work.
"I am exceptionally proud that our GCSE outcomes are better than national and regional averages and for Ofsted to recognise the high-quality provision across all elements of the school.
"To gain Outstanding for leadership and management is a wonderful testament to the hard work put in by everyone to continually look to improve and ensure North Walsham High School is an excellent school."
