Strengths

“Pupils are very happy at Flamstead Village School.”
“They love seeing their friends and teachers.”
“Pupils are kind to each other.”

To improve

“In a minority of subjects, curriculum plans and staff training are not precise enough to ensure that teachers and pupils are clear about how new knowledge and skills build on prior learning.”
“In these areas, there is some inconsistency in how well teachers use the most appropriate resources to support pupils to learn the intended curriculum.”
“As a result, pupils sometimes do not learn as much as they should.”
