Henham and Ugley Primary and Nursery School has been celebrating after receiving a top National School Games Mark.
Funded by Sport England and delivered by the Youth Sport Trust, the government-led programme is designed to deliver competitive school sport to millions of children.
Primary and Secondary schools are rewarded for a commitment to sports development and competition across their school and into the community.
They usually range from bronze to gold, but a select few schools, just 104 this year, received the top platinum mark, including Henham and Ugley Primary and Nursery.
Co-chair and Sports Governor Mo Park said: “Our headteacher Kim Hall, students, teachers, governors, parents, carers and the whole community embrace and value sport participation and achievement at all levels.
