What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils enjoy being part of this friendly school at the heart of the village community. They arrive each day eager and ready to learn. Pupils thrive in the school's nurturing environment. They know that staff care about them. This helps pupils to feel safe in school, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils strive to live up to the high expectations that the school has of them. Most pupils behave well and follow the school routines. Pupils work hard in lessons. This helps them to achieve their best. Pupils proudly represent their school in a range of sporting events. They relish the many opportunities that the school provides to enrich the curriculum. These opportunities include visiting the local heritage railway, entering exhibits to local county events, leading coding workshops and learning traditional crafts such as knitting. Older pupils take on responsibilities as house captains, monitors and members of various committees. Visits to places of cultural interest, such as the theatre and places of historical significance, help to broaden pupils' horizons. Pupils' confidence and resilience is developed further through residential trips. Pupils are encouraged to challenge themselves and 'follow their dreams', such as to become a successful racing driver or to run their own business.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes the key knowledge and vocabulary that the school wants pupils to learn is not clear. When this is the case, some pupils struggle to recall prior learning. The school should ensure that what they want pupils to know and understand is clearly identified to enable pupils' knowledge and understanding to build securely over time.
