Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly and welcoming village school.”
- “From the Nursery Year, children follow established routines and quickly settle into school life.”
- “The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour and conduct around the school.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has not identified the knowledge that pupils learn with the same degree of precision.”
- “Consequently, sometimes, it is difficult for teaching to focus on the important knowledge pupils need to know.”
- “This means, at times, while pupils develop broad knowledge, occasionally it lacks depth.”
