Strengths
- “This happy and welcoming school is at the heart of its rural community.”
- “Staff weave the school’s values of respect, resilience, hope and love throughout the day.”
- “These values guide pupils in how they learn and play.”
To improve
- “However, in a few of the recently refined subjects, the school has not yet made the links to pupils’ prior learning explicit enough.”
- “Therefore, the depth of what pupils know and remember over time varies.”
- “However, the school does not have a fully embedded approach to teaching reading fluency.”
