Strengths
- “There is a happy, family-like atmosphere at this friendly village school.”
- “From the moment children join in Reception, they build positive relationships with staff.”
- “They and their families are warmly welcomed and helped to settle in quickly.”
To improve
- “Since the last inspection, there has been significant turbulence in leadership and staffing.”
- “Over several years, a number of pupils have left the school without the important knowledge they need in reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “This limits how well prepared they are for the next stage of their education.”
