Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to be part of a warm and welcoming school where inclusion sits at its heart.”
- “Pupils at this small rural school benefit from positive and meaningful relationships with staff, who are ambitious for their achievement and success.”
- “Those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged, receive a high level of carefully tailored support, which allows them to thrive.”
To improve
- “While the curriculum is broad and rich in knowledge, some pupils do not remember the key knowledge they have been taught.”
- “This means that sometimes pupils are not able to communicate clearly what they have learned or link learning across subjects.”
- “However, across the wider curriculum, learning activities do not consistently provide pupils with sufficient challenge or opportunities to develop resilience.”
