Strengths
- “Pupils delight in attending this caring village school.”
- “They uphold the school’s values of friendship, tolerance and compassion in class and when at play.”
- “Pupils make up adventurous stories on the ‘boat’ and enjoy spending time in the playhouse.”
To improve
- “However, in a minority of subjects, leaders have not yet defined clearly enough how curriculum content builds over time.”
- “This means that some pupils do not deepen their learning as well as they could be.”
