Strengths
- “Pupils are pleased and proud that they attend this small village school, which feels like a family.”
- “Staff know pupils very well and warm relationships fill the school, which makes pupils feel safe.”
- “The ‘superloopers club’ provides great support to the many service children who attend the school.”
To improve
- “However, the school has not fully developed strategies for checking that pupils have remembered key knowledge in learning beyond reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “This means that staff are not always clear about the gaps in learning that need to be addressed.”
- “However, pupils are sometimes given work that is too easy and does not deepen their understanding.”
