A primary school has been praised by Ofsted for developing a love of reading among its pupils.
Bure Valley School, part of Aylsham Learning Federation, was inspected on March 25 and 26, and the subsequent report said "the school is a happy place" where "pupils develop a love of reading."
The report also said the school is built on strong relationships, which lead to successful outcomes.
It said: "Relationships between adults, pupils, and their families are warm.
"This contributes towards pupils wanting to attend school and having positive attitudes towards their learning."

The report highlighted how the school has developed its curriculum across all subjects since the last inspection and also how the school "prioritises pupils’ wider development."
It said the school "promotes diversity and raises pupils' aspirations through its curriculum and extra-curricular offer."
Inspectors were very positive about the school providing pupils with "rich and varied opportunities" in a range of areas such as sport, arts, and music.
They also described the "active and valued voice" pupils have at the school in their leadership roles, and the peer support, which means playtime at Bure Valley "is a happy occasion for all."
In order to improve its teaching of writing, which is already being developed further by the school, inspectors would like to see staff set clear expectations for writing across the curriculum, to ensure that it reaches the same standard achieved in English lessons.
Jamie Olney, headteacher at Bure Valley School, said: "We are thrilled that the outcomes of our recent Ofsted inspection were overwhelmingly positive.
"The inspection report reflects what we've always known: Bure Valley School is truly a good school, standing proudly at the heart of our community."
Executive headteacher, Duncan Spalding, said: "I am absolutely thrilled for our Bure Valley School community.
"Mr Olney and his team have created a wonderfully warm and inclusive learning environment where pupils and staff thrive day out."
