Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at this small school, which has a big heart.”
- “Kind and caring staff greet them warmly as they arrive at school each morning.”
- “They delight in everything that the school has to offer.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, including some areas of learning in the early years, the school is still refining its work to ensure that teachers are clear about what they want pupils to learn.”
- “This means that, sometimes, teachers find it difficult to design learning that helps pupils to gain important knowledge.”
- “On occasion, this hampers the depth of subject knowledge that some pupils acquire.”
