Strengths
- “This small, rural school fosters a strong sense of community.”
- “Pupils value the close-knit environment and enjoy knowing their peers and the staff.”
- “This helps them to feel safe and happy.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not become independent learners because they are over-reliant on adults in lessons.”
- “As a result, sometimes they struggle to take the lead on tasks or apply what they already know with confidence.”
- “However, its expectations for the curriculum, behaviour and the early years provision are not realised fully.”
