Strengths
- “Pupils are happy and confident at this small village school.”
- “They thrive on the many sports activities available such as badminton, athletics, hockey and multi-skills.”
- “From trips to football matches to a school equestrian team, experiences are thoughtful and aim at building pupils’ self-belief.”
To improve
- “However, for a small number of pupils with SEND, this support is not consistently strong because provision is not matched to pupils’ needs as closely as it could be.”
- “However, reading books to help pupils learn to read are not always matched to the sounds that pupils have learned.”
- “This means that a small number of pupils do not learn to read as well as they could.”
