What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Pupils enjoy attending this small, welcoming village school. They said that their school feels like a big family and that they enjoy mixing with pupils of different ages. Pupils feel that their school is warm-hearted. They value the way that staff look after them and help to take away their worries. Pupils know that the school has high expectations of what they can achieve. They are eager to learn new things and they work hard in lessons to achieve well. Typically, pupils achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils' conduct during lessons and social times embodies the school's motto of being ready, respectful and safe. Pupils' positive attitudes to learning begin when children start school in the early years. Pupils recognise that the school's golden rules are there for the benefit of everybody. They feel that it is particularly important to look after each other and to always do their best. Pupils enjoy the wide range of trips and clubs that the school organises for them. They relish opportunities to compete in sporting events and perform in drama and music productions, for example in the annual 'Festival of the Arts'.
What the school should improve
- Previous weaknesses in the school's curriculum have led to some older pupils having gaps in their knowledge in some subjects. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers are equipped well to address gaps in pupils' knowledge to enable them to build new learning successfully.
