What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 May 2024
The school's values of courage, compassion and community shine through all areas of school life. Pupils enjoy coming to school because they feel part of a family. They enjoy their learning. The school has carefully planned an ambitious curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils, including in mixed-aged classes. Pupils enjoy their learning and the vast majority achieve well. Those who need extra support receive this. The school is highly inclusive. Pupils behave well and feel safe. Bullying is not tolerated. Relationships between staff and pupils are exceptionally strong. Pupils, including the children in the early years, benefit from clear routines. They are kind and respectful to one another. Trained peer mediators help others to resolve inevitable differences. As a result, the school is harmonious. Pupils are resilient and highly reflective. They understand how to learn from their mistakes and reflect on local, national and international issues. While this is a small village school, pupils learn about other cultures and the challenges people face in the wider world. They have many opportunities to become active citizens, raising money for charity and contributing to their local community and beyond.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is not used consistently well in the foundation subjects. It is not always used effectively to check all pupils have fully understood the curriculum. In addition, in some subjects, the plans for effective assessment are in their infancy. As a result, the school cannot accurately evaluate the impact of the curriculum. The school must fully embed effective assessment strategies to ensure that all pupils learn what is intended.
