All Saints' Primary School in Highlands Drive was presented with the Standard School Charter by FA representatives on Friday.

The top accolade has been achieved with help from Maldon Saints' Football Club which has been coming into the school and holding extra curricular football sessions for youngsters aged between six and ten years old.

Maldon Saints' vice chairman and coach, Joe Stevens said: "We have been working with the school so they could achieve the Standard School Charter and we could achieve the FA Community Charter.

"The sessions have been really well attended and the youngsters love them."
