What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils at this inclusive village school say it is like home. Staff and friends are their 'school family'. One pupil, typical of many, explained this saying, 'everyone is kind, we trust each other'. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that trusted adults are there to help them if they are worried. Parents agree and talk about feeling part of the 'strong, supportive school community'. They appreciate the links with the local community, including visits to the church and May Day celebrations with the whole village. Staff have high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils listen attentively to their teachers to gain new knowledge. Pupils are eager to share learning and ideas with their friends as they join in partner talk. The youngest children enjoy learning to share. They take turns when the older pupils act as sports leaders during playground games. Pupils respect one another and say that everyone behaves in school. On the rare occasion when this doesn't happen, pupils say that they give each other a chance to calm down and sort it out. Older pupils share what they learn from working with young leaders across the country. They teach younger pupils how to respect one another's points of view and flourish.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum plans do not make clear the most important content that pupils are expected to know and remember. This means that pupils' recall of this content is not as strong as in other subjects. The school needs to further refine these curriculum plans to ensure that the most important content that pupils should know and remember is consistently clear.
- Pupils' understanding of the importance of equality is not as developed as it could be. They cannot always recall what the protected characteristics are or describe their significance. The school should ensure that across the curriculum, pupils have the opportunity to revisit what they have learned about protected characteristics and deepen their understanding.
