Strengths
- “The values of ‘achieve, believe and care’ (the ABCs) shine through at this small, inclusive, rural school.”
- “Pupils say that they feel happy and safe here.”
- “They enjoy the scenic, outdoor environment and the play equipment at breaktimes and lunchtimes.”
To improve
- “However, some subjects are more developed than others.”
- “The planning and sequencing, in some subjects, are not detailed enough.”
- “The key vocabulary and content that pupils should learn, and when, is sometimes missing.”
