What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 April 2026
Pupils are proud of their ‘small but mighty’ school, where every pupil is nurtured and valued. Attendance is high because pupils enjoy coming to school. They are safe, happy and well cared for. Pupils feel they belong and are cherished by their school family. Pupils behave very well, both in lessons and around the school site. They engage positively in their learning because the curriculum is inspiring, taught well and extends beyond the classroom. Pupils describe a community built on kindness and respect where bullying is not tolerated. They say that adults act quickly to resolve any concerns. Staff know pupils and their families very well. As a result, any barriers faced by pupils are identified as soon as they start school. Support is put in place to ensure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, can succeed and thrive. The school motto of ‘Learn, Explore, Achieve’ is reflected in the secure progress made by pupils and their achievements in national tests. Forest school sessions are embedded in the curriculum. These are underpinned by the school’s ‘green goals,’ which all pupils are encouraged to achieve before they leave. Pupils benefit from the wide range of enriching experiences on offer. These include educational visits, leadership roles and extra-curricular clubs. Pupils talk enthusiastically about their aspirations for the future and are very well prepared for life in the wider world beyond their rural community.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that any barriers pupils face are addressed swiftly through the use of more precise adaptations in lessons and through the school's wider support strategies.
