Strengths
- “Pupils thrive in this small, rural school community.”
- “They strive to follow the school’s vision for pupils to be ‘caring, sharing and always learning’.”
- “This is evident in the way that pupils look after each other and happily ensure that everyone is included.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, some of the intended learning is not as clearly defined.”
- “As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
- “While there is an ambitious curriculum for all children in the early years, staff do not routinely use activities well enough to engage children in meaningful and appropriate learning.”
