School remains Good Inspected 20 March 2024
Strengths
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, are proud of their small, rural school.”
- “They delight in the wealth of activities that are afforded by the school’s location, including beckdipping and gardening.”
- “Pupils appreciate their visits further afield too, such as their recent trip to a nearby city.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the school has not clearly defined the sequence of learning from early years to Year 6.”
- “Occasionally, this hinders pupils from deepening their subject-specific knowledge over time.”
- “Some aspects of the provision for pupils’ wider development are less developed.”
