A COUNTY school was celebrating after coming off Special Measures just before the end of term.

Poolbrook Primary School, in Bluebell Close, Malvern, was told the news on Friday after a two-day inspection, which complimented the school on improvements.

Since being placed on the measures in 2001 after performing poorly in an inspection, the school has been inspected every term.

"It's a real morale boost at the end of term. It was a bit nerve-racking during the inspection but everyone is feeling fantastic now," said headteacher Gill Samuels.
