Strengths
- “Pupils are hungry to learn at this caring and friendly village school.”
- “Leaders make the best of its rural setting, using the local environment, community and village church as rich resources for learning.”
- “Pupils love regularly visiting Ufton Court to learn local history and forest skills.”
To improve
- “However, in a few foundation subjects, leaders have not identified some of the key knowledge that pupils should learn precisely enough.”
- “This leads to some element of teacher choice in what to teach and makes it hard for teachers to build on previous learning.”
- “Teachers are not sure, at times, what the most important knowledge is that pupils need to learn.”
