Strengths

“Pupils delight in coming to this small village school, where they say their trusted teachers are kind and make lessons fun.”
“As one parent put it, this is ‘a gem of a school that sets children up for future success’.”
“High expectations begin in the nursery, where children sign themselves into school, hang up their coats and feel safe to start learning independently straight away.”

To improve

“In these areas, the knowledge pupils need to learn and remember is less precisely identified.”
“As a result, pupils do not always make secure connections between the concepts they are taught.”

Safeguarding: Effective
