Strengths
- “Pupils really enjoy attending this small school, where they know each other well.”
- “Warm and friendly relationships mean that pupils play together happily at breaktimes and lunchtimes.”
- “They delight in exploring the forest area, making bug hotels, and playing the piano as others eat lunch.”
To improve
- “The school is in the early stages of implementing a new approach in key stage 1, and at times, the activities do not capture pupils’ interest as well as they could.”
- “This means that some pupils do not learn as much as they could.”
- “However, this training is not applied consistently well, and in a few cases, staff support does not enable pupils to develop fluency as well as they could.”
