Strengths

“Pupils love attending this small village school.”
“They are kind, open and welcoming to visitors.”
“Pupils are proud of their school and like to celebrate what makes it unique, such as how newcomers are welcomed and made to feel part of the close-knit community.”

To improve

“A few pupils display low-level, negative behaviour in some classes, and teachers address this, but it can slow the pace of some lessons.”
“Some older pupils who follow this new programme have gaps in their knowledge because they previously learned phonics in a different way.”
“This is being addressed through catch-up sessions, but these gaps can mean that some pupils do not yet have all the necessary knowledge.”
