BIGGIN Hill Infant School has shown dramatic improvements during the past two years, according to its latest Ofsted report.

Inspectors from the education watchdog last visited the Old Tye Avenue school in January 2000, when they found a quarter of teaching was unsatisfactory or poor.

The latest report showed the quality of teaching for the school's 200 pupils is now satisfactory or better in all lessons.

Headteacher Clare Hannah praised staff and pupils for their hard work.

She said: "I am immensely proud of the whole staff team and the children.

"This is a good school and now we have the proof of that."
