Strengths
- “Pupils achieve with increasing success at this improving, inclusive village school.”
- “They benefit from the school’s values of aspiration, respect, wisdom and relationships running through their learning experiences.”
- “This helps to ensure that pupils learn to work and play together well, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities or pupils who are disadvantaged.”
To improve
- “However, due to the amount that needs to improve, pupils do not learn consistently well across all subjects and in the early years.”
- “For example, pupils’ learning in subjects such as history, art, music and geography remains limited.”
- “Sometimes, pupils could do more because more could be expected of them.”
