Staff and pupils have been celebrating a run of successes at an Oxfordshire primary school.

St Nicolas Primary School, Abingdon, has received one of the first Investors in People awards for schools.

The occasion was also the school's 40th birthday, and coincided with its Millennium music festival.

Now, to top an exciting time off, the school has won high praise in its latest Ofsted inspection. The report follows an inspection in May. It describes the school as 'very effective' and praises the teamwork between the head Roger Bell, his staff and parents, in encouraging an excellent attitude from the 440 pupils.
