School remains Good Inspected 14 March 2023
Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this small village school.”
- “They show a great deal of compassion and care for each other.”
- “It is very important to pupils that everyone feels included.”
To improve
- “However, for a few pupils, the books that they read do not closely match their phonics knowledge.”
- “They do not get to practise reading the sounds they have learned, which slows their ability to read fluently.”
- “However, a few pupils do not follow a ‘catch-up programme’ that focuses exactly on the gaps in their phonics knowledge, so they do not make the progress they could.”
