A primary is celebrating a "good" Ofsted report following its latest inspection.
Granby Primary, in Aylestone, Leicester, which has 452 pupils, was visited at the end of February.
Head teacher Peter Fowler said he was "delighted" and credited the hard work of everyone, including the children, for the rating – which is the second highest awarded by the education watchdog.
The school's last full inspection took place in March 2011, when it was deemed to be satisfactory.
The inspectors' new report said pupils were doing well and achieved above average standards in reading and writing. There had also been improvements in maths. Inspectors said that teaching was typically good and a small amount was outstanding.
Leaders at the school, including the governors, were praised for being the driving force behind improvements in the quality of teaching and standards.
Inspectors said pupil behaviour was good, along with attendance, and pupils had been given very memorable experiences including exciting visits, residential stays and visitors to the school.
Mr Fowler, who has led the school for 18 years, said: "It's a fantastic report and we're very pleased with the outcome. We work together as team very well and have really gelled.
"There's a great atmosphere around the school and that's reflected in the children and their response to teachers.
"I'm sure that becoming an outstanding school is well within our grasp. We know what we need to do to get there.
"We have a good relationship with parents and that's something that we're always looking to strengthen so that learning doesn't just stop when school ends."
To improve even further, inspectors said that the school should increase the proportion of outstanding teaching and ensure that learning moved at a demanding pace.
Assistant city mayor for schools, Councillor Vi Dempster, said: "This is a great achievement for Granby Primary. My congratulations to staff, governors and pupils for moving the school from satisfactory to good."
