A Norfolk school has received top marks in an Ofsted report for the achievement and standards of pupils.

Litcham High School was celebrating yesterday after it was given the highest grades in standards reached by pupils, progress made by pupils and how those with learning disabilities and difficulties got on.

In the report, Ofsted inspectors praised “the exceptionally good care, guidance and support for all its students, creating an environment in which the majority achieve outstanding results. The high school, with 572 pupils, is one of only a few in the country to have three specialisms; science, language and sport.

It was noted to improve further the school would need to introduce new opportunities for vocational learning and for more rigour in monitoring teaching and learning.

Headteacher Jeremy Nicholls said: “This success is the result of a remarkably committed staff, willing and hard working students and very supportive governors and parents.”
