Ofsted

Good Inspected 21 November 2023

Strengths

“This is a happy village school where everyone is welcomed and made to feel part of the community.”
“Relationships are warm and nurturing.”
“Pupils know that staff care about them and are always there to listen and support them if they are worried about something.”

To improve

“However, some pupils do not always achieve as well as they could.”
“This is because the curriculum is not consistently adapted well enough in all subjects to meet pupils’ needs.”
“As a result, sometimes pupils find it difficult to get started with or complete learning tasks.”
