What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to school and learning with their friends. Parents and carers are exceptionally confident that their children are safe in school. Pupils are polite, respectful and friendly to each other. They always have someone who will play with them at lunch or breaktime. No one is left to play alone in the school's extensive field and playground. Bullying is very rare and is not tolerated. Pupils know they are listened to, and 'if something is wrong, staff sort it out.' Pupils have great trust in staff. One comment was typical of many when a pupil said that 'You can tell teachers anything you like and they will not judge you.' Pupils take part in an extensive range of sporting activities, the school choir and educational visits. Parents say that 'Despite being a small rural school, extra activities are fantastic.' Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are keen to do well and know what is expected of them because of the effective promotion of the school's values. Parents appreciate the work that the school is doing for their children. The headteacher and staff are highly respected by parents and pupils. Parents know the school is a strong part of the community and their children are taught well.
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders have not had professional development opportunities to advance their own subject-specific pedagogical knowledge. This means that some subject leaders have not given precise curriculum guidance and support for teachers. Leaders should explore ways to offer subject-specific training to subject leaders. They should ensure that subject leaders provide improved levels of support to teachers.
