THE children, parents and staff at Little Dewchurch primary school had reason to jump for joy at the end of last term after receiving good news from Ofsted.

Twelve months ago the school was placed into the special measures category but Ofsted has now rated it as good with outstanding features.

The staff and pupils have worked extremely hard to raise standards at the school and things are going from strength to strength.

Along with working very hard the children have enjoyed a varied 12 months with many educational days out along the way. The parents are extremely grateful for all that the staff have achieved.
