A market town high school has been given a good rating after an Ofsted inspection. 

Fakenham Academy was visited on October 8 and 9 for a school inspection and maintained its good rating for overall effectiveness. 

The watchdog's latest result was also attributed to the school's "clear expectations for high-quality teaching".

Gavin Green, the school's headteacher, said the "excellent" report recognised the "many strengths at the academy".

However, it also made recommendations for areas where the school could improve.

The report said some students are not achieving as well as they should due to insufficient knowledge retention.

CEO of Sapientia Education Trust, Jonathan Taylor, said: "I am incredibly proud of the improvements that Ofsted noted since Fakenham Academy joined the Trust in 2020.

"The school's ethos and facilities have been greatly enhanced and it's a great place to study."
