Strengths

“From the early years through to Year 6, pupils at this small, happy school relish coming to school to learn.”
“Leaders, governors and staff ensure pupils feel safe and become confident learners.”
“Staff bring the school vision, 'Giving Wings to Fly', to life through a culture of high ambition and care.”

To improve

“Although pupils enjoy school, too many pupils do not attend as regularly as they should.”
“As a result, those pupils miss out on important learning.”
“However, pupils do not routinely securely gain the essential knowledge they need for future learning.”
