Strengths
- “This small, rural school provides a caring and supportive environment, where all pupils can flourish.”
- “Pupils are happy and feel safe.”
- “Pupils relish the opportunity to talk about their learning.”
To improve
- “In the wider curriculum, the school’s work to check what pupils know and can do is still in its infancy.”
- “This means that sometimes teachers do not check that pupils have secured essential knowledge and skills before they move on.”
- “A small number of pupils occasionally exhibit more challenging behaviour.”
