What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2022
Pupils are happy at this small but growing school. They love the way that everyone knows each other well. Pupils know to respect different opinions and viewpoints. Pupils are interested in what they learn. For example, older pupils talk confidently about why the Vikings were such effective raiders. Younger pupils look at how maps of the known world have changed over time. They enjoy learning outside as part of forest school sessions. Pupils have opportunities to grow their own vegetables and climb trees in the school's extensive grounds. Pupils behave impeccably. Classrooms are calm and pupils can concentrate and do their best. Pupils understand the importance of setting a good example. They take every opportunity to live out the school's ethos of 'Cooperation, Awareness, Respect, Enjoyment' (CARE). Older pupils are looking forward to their residential visits. Pupils say that bullying rarely happens. They trust that adults will help them resolve issues quickly. The school is at the heart of the community. Parents and carers say that their children are happy and safe at school. One parent, typical of many, commented that, 'This is a wonderful village school with a supportive, family-like atmosphere.'
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that pupils have sufficient opportunities to independently apply their knowledge from one subject to another. This hinders their deeper understanding of the school's curriculum. Leaders should ensure that teachers provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to apply their knowledge in different contexts across subjects.
- Some staff are new to subject leadership or new to their area of responsibility. This means they do not yet have sufficient expertise to make checks on their subject. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders have the knowledge and expertise to make checks and develop their subject area.
