Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to attend this small school, which is at the heart of the local community.”
- “They value the positive relationships that they have with other pupils and with staff.”
- “Pupils told the inspector that everybody is treated equally at their school, which they described as ‘like a family’.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, staff do not determine well enough how secure pupils’ prior learning is.”
- “As a result, pupils have some gaps in their knowledge, which hinders them from learning as well as they should.”
