Strengths
- “They benefit from a variety of wider opportunities to develop their characters through ‘Hunton 21’, a series of rich, diverse experiences for all pupils to have before they leave primary school.”
- “The school inspires pupils to contribute to their local community through fundraising and by sending every home in the village a Christmas card.”
- “Pupils learn more about the world around them through ‘Tuesday Newsday’ and inclusive assemblies, which deepens their understanding of protected characteristics.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, some activities do not help pupils connect and deepen their knowledge in the way that leaders intend.”
- “Some of these assessments do not closely match the intended curriculum.”
- “As a result, in some subjects, the school does not spot misconceptions or gaps in pupils’ knowledge as quickly as it could.”
