Strengths
- “Pupils feel supported and well cared for in this small, inclusive school.”
- “They say that at Kings Nympton ‘everyone looks out for each other’.”
- “Parents are positive about the nurture and help their children receive.”
To improve
- “However, this is not the same for all subjects.”
- “In geography and history, the knowledge that teachers want pupils to know and remember is not sufficiently ordered towards planned end points.”
- “Consequently, pupils across the mixed-age classes do not deepen their understanding over time.”
