Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and proud to attend this small, friendly school.”
- “If they have any concerns, they know who they can speak to.”
- “They say that bullying does not happen, but if it did, that staff would ‘quickly sort it out’.”
To improve
- “However, in wider areas of learning, plans are less precise.”
- “It is not clear what new vocabulary or concepts children need to learn.”
- “Activities and resources in the inside and outdoor areas are not carefully planned to support children to learn effectively across the curriculum.”
