Strengths
- “Pupils are safe and happy at this nurturing village school.”
- “In the early years, children make a strong start to their education and develop highly positive attitudes to their learning.”
- “Pupils know and understand the school’s ‘6 C’ values such as creativity and consideration.”
To improve
- “However, while pupils learn increasingly securely in reading, writing and mathematics because of improvements the school has made, this is not yet reflected in pupils’ outcomes at the end of key stages.”
- “Overall, the curriculum is still in development and is not yet implemented as consistently and effectively as leaders intend.”
- “This means that pupils do not learn as well as they should.”
