Strengths

“Hatherop is a nurturing school at the heart of its community.”
“Pupils feel safe, cared for and supported.”
“Pupils express themselves with confidence because staff want to hear their views and are interested in what they say.”

To improve

“However, the curriculum does not ensure pupils read a wide range of literature.”
“This limits their love of reading and does not prepare them well for the next stage in their learning.”
“However, pupils do not have a deep understanding of fundamental British values, such as democracy.”

Safeguarding: Effective
