Strengths
- “Pupils appreciate being part of this small village school where relationships are strong, and pupils are valued.”
- “Expectations of how well pupils behave are clear and consistent.”
- “Pupils are polite and calm and follow instructions.”
To improve
- “However, in mathematics, pupils have gaps in their knowledge as their misconceptions are not always addressed.”
- “For example, pupils do not always show secure understanding in their number work and place value.”
- “This means that some pupils are not achieving as well as they should in their mathematics lessons.”
