Strengths

“Pupils love coming to this warm and welcoming village school.”
“The school is determined that all pupils will achieve well.”
“While published outcomes at the end of key stage 2 in 2024 were below national expectations, the school does provide an effective education for pupils.”

To improve

“However, these improvements have not been in place for long enough to be reflected fully in the published outcomes at the end of key stage 2.”
“However, in some other subjects, these checks focus on recent learning and do not enable staff to determine how securely pupils remember knowledge in the longer term.”
“This makes it difficult for the school to ensure pupils develop a depth of knowledge over time.”
