Strengths
- “Pupils feel a strong sense of belonging to this small and nurturing school.”
- “Staff know pupils and their families well.”
- “Parents and carers value the 'family feel' of the school that ensures that pupils are safe, included and understood.”
To improve
- “However, some pupils have misconceptions, in mathematics, that are not fully addressed.”
- “As a result, these pupils are not as confident at applying their mathematics knowledge as they otherwise could be.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the curriculum is being strengthened so pupils develop important knowledge and skills more effectively, for example chronology in history.”
