Strengths
- “This is a small village school where pupils are happy and safe.”
- “Pupils are welcoming and polite.”
- “Their attitudes to school and learning reflect the school’s values of ‘joy, kindness, community and respect’.”
To improve
- “However, it can vary in relation to some subjects in the wider curriculum.”
- “As a result, sometimes teachers lack the subject expertise to identify and close gaps that appear in pupils’ learning.”
- “However, the recording and oversight of incidents of behaviour are not robust enough.”
