Strengths
- “Leaders and staff have high expectations and aspire for every pupil to ‘let their light shine’.”
- “Pupils live up to these aspirations.”
- “They love learning, try their best and are thriving in this happy, village school.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of subjects, leaders have not been clear enough about the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn.”
- “Sometimes, leaders have included too much content for teachers to cover and for pupils to learn and remember.”
- “However, the extra support for pupils who are finding it hard to keep up is not as effective as it could be.”
