Strengths

“Pupils value the fact that everyone knows everyone in their small school.”
“This helps them to feel happy and safe in their ‘Little Gaddesden community’.”
“Older pupils look after younger children during lunchtime when everyone shares the same space.”

To improve

“In some subjects, teachers lack the expert subject knowledge to fully realise what the school wants to achieve.”
“This means that sometimes, some pupils do not extend or embed their understanding as well as they might.”
“Sometimes, pupils do not get enough opportunities to practise sounds.”
