Ofsted

Good Inspected 3 July 2023

Strengths

“Pupils are cared for and well supported at this nurturing village school.”
“They talk confidently about values such as resilience, ambition and perseverance.”
“When asked to describe what ambition means, one pupil shared: ‘It is when you reach for the stars and don’t let anything stop you’.”

To improve

“However, in some subjects, leaders have not yet identified the precise knowledge and vocabulary that they want pupils to learn.”
“This means that pupils are not always achieving as well as they could.”
“This means there needs to be a range of precise adaptations to the curriculum.”
