Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this small, welcoming village school.”
- “They said that their school feels like a big family and that they enjoy mixing with pupils of different ages.”
- “Pupils feel that their school is warm-hearted.”
To improve
- “However, shortfalls in the previous curriculum mean that there are gaps in some older pupils’ knowledge.”
- “This means that the impact of the strengthened curriculum is not reflected in the unvalidated 2023 published data about how well pupils achieve in reading and mathematics.”
- “However, from time to time, some teachers do not use assessment strategies to address the gaps in pupils’ knowledge swiftly enough.”
