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.”
