Strengths
- “Pupils at this village school are safe and happy.”
- “There are close links between the staff, parents and carers, and the community that create a 'family feel' at the school.”
- “Published outcomes for pupils have historically been positive.”
To improve
- “However, pupils do not progress as well as they should through the curriculum.”
- “School and trust leaders generally know the areas of the school that need to develop, however, their actions have not addressed the weaknesses in the curriculum and teaching.”
- “This means that too many pupils complete work that lacks ambition.”
