A headteacher is thrilled after education inspectors upgraded her school from satisfactory to good.
Ofsted had judged Beckers Green Primary School in Braintree to be satisfactory two years ago.
But on their return last month, they found it to be good across the board, including pupil achievement and behaviour, quality of teaching, and leadership and management.
And the children were praised for working hard and older pupils were said to be excellent role models with outstanding behaviour.
