Strengths
- “The school’s values of respect, compassion, perseverance, friendship, forgiveness and trust are modelled daily by enthusiastic and joyful pupils in this friendly village school.”
- “Pupils feel a strong sense of belonging from the moment they join the caring Reception Class.”
- “Since the school joined a federation with other schools, leaders at Nutley have raised expectations consistently for all pupils.”
To improve
- “Pupils achieve well in many subjects, but leaders recognise that more work is needed to ensure that all pupils know and remember important knowledge securely over time.”
- “However, sometimes, teaching does not build well enough on what pupils already know, which means that some tasks can be too easy or too hard.”
- “At these times, pupils do not learn securely or achieve as well as they could.”
