Strengths
- “This small village school is ‘full of heart’.”
- “It has a shared vision for all its pupils to achieve highly, both academically and in their personal development.”
- “Pupils work hard to fulfil these expectations.”
To improve
- “Occasionally, the activities that pupils complete do not help them to deepen their knowledge of a subject.”
- “Occasionally, the knowledge that these pupils need to know is not broken down into small steps.”
- “This means that pupils with SEND are not always secure in the knowledge that they are expected to know and recall.”
