Strengths
- “Pupils flourish in this delightful, small, rural school.”
- “They say that there are ‘never any sad faces’ at the school.”
- “Strong and trusting relationships underpin this.”
To improve
- “Older pupils would welcome the opportunity to participate in more-structured activities during this time.”
- “In some subjects, however, more-formal approaches to checking what pupils know and can do have only recently been established and are not yet embedded.”
- “This means that some subject leaders do not yet have a secure understanding of how pupils are performing in their subject areas.”
