Staff and children at a New Forest school are celebrating the outcome of its latest inspection by education watchdogs.
The 72-pupil Manor Church of England Infant School in Teachers Way, Holbury, has retained the "Good" rating it was awarded by Ofsted after its previous inspection in 2018.
The latest Ofsted report says a passion for reading "pervades" the school - and describes the children's enthusiasm for learning as "infectious".
It adds: "Staff have consistently high ambitions for all pupils to achieve well. Teachers use skillful questioning to check pupils’ understanding. Staff then tailor learning, so that pupils achieve well.
"There are strong systems in place to help identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
"Leaders support staff to make sure pupils with SEND get the right help to access the curriculum and school life. This means pupils can achieve alongside their peers and participate in all aspects of school, including clubs and events such as the annual talent show.
"Leaders have created a culture where positive behaviour is expected by all.
"In personal, social and health education (PSHE), pupils learn about being a good friend, how to stay healthy, and their own feelings. Pupils understand that everyone is different and are keen to celebrate what makes them special."

The report says children play an active role in the school community.
"They are keen to fundraise for different charities and have a say in how the school develops. Trips are planned carefully, so pupils have a range of experiences throughout their time at the school.
"There is a plethora of clubs for pupils to attend. Leaders carefully track who is attending and ensure that there is equal access for disadvantaged pupils."

Headteacher Michelle Hale added: "We are a small school with a big heart. We have high ambitions for all learners, and provide an exciting and engaging curriculum in which the children flourish."
The chair of governors, Teresa Pickup, has also welcomed Ofsted's verdict.
She said: "We are so pleased the report has highlighted not only the high expectations and attainment of our children but also the fact that they feel safe, are happy and respectful, and that 'their enthusiasm for learning is infectious'.
"We have a fantastic staff team who always go above and beyond for the children."
Another New Forest school, Lymington Junior, has also retained its "Good" rating following a two-day Ofsted inspection carried out in June.
