Ofsted

School remains Good Inspected 30 March 2022

Strengths

“The school’s vision for an inclusive and exciting place to learn is evident in pupils’ positive attitudes and their growing confidence as learners from the early years through to Year 2.”
“Pupils are proud to attend Drayton Parslow Village School.”
“They arrive each morning with enthusiasm and are greeted warmly by staff who know them well.”

To improve

“However, sometimes, work is not matched closely enough to pupils’ needs.”
“This means that, occasionally pupils do not deepen their understanding sufficiently well.”
“Governors provide constructive challenge alongside appropriate support and would benefit from a more systematic approach to monitoring the impact of leaders' actions.”
