Strengths

“Pupils are caring and thoughtful at this village school.”
“They feel safe and happy and are very proud to be part of the school community.”
“Pupils value their friendships and the positive relationships that they have with staff.”

To improve

“However, some of the school’s recent changes to the curriculum are still being embedded fully.”
“In some subjects, such as mathematics, pupils’ outcomes by the end of key stage 2 are not yet consistently high.”
“For a small number of pupils who are still learning phonics, books they take home are not always closely matched to the sounds they have learned.”
