Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to this small, welcoming village school.”
- “Staff ensure that every pupil feels a valued part of this close-knit community.”
- “They look after pupils well and understand their individual needs.”
To improve
- “Nonetheless, inconsistencies in the curriculum in the early years mean that some children are not prepared as well as they could be for key stage 1.”
- “Occasionally, staff do not use checks on pupils' learning as effectively as they could to inform their decisions about what to teach next.”
- “Sometimes, opportunities to deepen pupils' learning are overlooked.”
