A school is celebrating after a promising Ofsted inspection.

Larkmead School, in Faringdon Road, Abingdon, was given a mixture of good and satisfactory grades in its latest report.

Overall effectiveness was good and the inspector noted that it was an improving school.

Pupils' behaviour was also marked as good.

Headteacher Chris Harris said: "We obviously want to improve on this, but it is nice that the report acknowledged the behaviour was good.

"There is a lot in the report on how the school is ready to move forwards to very good."

The inspector noted that pupils make outstanding progress in their first three years and Mr Harris is keen to apply this to the rest of the school. He said: "We've got a real sense of community. The site is very clean and the students are proud of that."
