Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to this village school.”
- “They are happy and build strong relationships with each other.”
- “Pupils know that staff are there to help and support them, and they know who to turn to if they have any worries.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, checks of what pupils know are not used consistently well.”
- “This means that some teaching is not well informed by the identification of misconceptions in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always have a secure foundation for future learning.”
