Good Inspected 22 May 2024
Strengths
- “The values of wisdom, compassion and strength are embedded in this small school and pupils thrive in its caring, happy community.”
- “They know that they are safe and that there is someone they can speak to if they have any concerns or worries.”
- “Pupils behave impeccably both in and outside of lessons, they show kindness and they care for each other.”
To improve
- “However, some parts of the curriculum are more fully realised and embedded than others.”
- “However, occasionally this practice is not embedded and so pupils do not consistently make as much progress through the curriculum as they could.”
