Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy belonging to their happy school community.”
- “They said that in their small school, everyone knows each other well and everyone is accepted for who they are.”
- “Staff forge strong relationships with children when they join the school in the early years.”
To improve
- “In a small number of these subjects, leaders are still finalising the specific content that they want pupils to learn and the order in which this should be taught.”
- “This hinders how well some pupils learn.”
- “However, there are limited opportunities for pupils to read for pleasure.”
