What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 February 2024

This successful, well-led village school does much to support and celebrate everyone. Whether it be for academic achievement, contribution to the community or being a good friend, the school is quick to notice, praise and encourage. Consequently, pupils feel valued. They enjoy school, feel safe and have many opportunities to do lots of different things. From performing in the local village hall to sharing their ideas with government, pupils get involved in both local and national matters. Expectations for achievement are high, and pupils work hard to meet these. They learn much and are well prepared for secondary school. Pupils who find it difficult to learn get kind, patient and effective support when they need it. In addition, pupils are kind to one another. Older pupils look out for younger ones, and all learn the value of kind words and actions. Indeed, attention to pupils' social and moral development is a distinctive strength, which has marked impact. Typically, pupils' behaviour is excellent. However, if any upsets do happen, then the school responds promptly and fairly. Pupils and their parents and carers have confidence that leaders and staff will always listen to them and help them when needs be.

What the school should improve

  • Curriculum design and staff confidence in some foundation subjects are not as strong as in other subjects. The school should continue to strengthen curriculum design and further develop staff subject knowledge in these subjects. This should be done so that pupils make even better progress across the whole curriculum.
