What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 18 March 2025

Pupils are fiercely proud of their small village school. They are excited to arrive to school every morning. Pupils embody the school's 'Core Christian' values. A climate of trust, friendship and compassion permeates all aspects of school life. Older pupils ensure that children in early years are welcomed into the school community and supported to join in with all aspects of school life. Children as young as two play happily on the school playground with other pupils. The school is ambitious for every pupil to reach their full potential, academically and personally. Pupils get the support they need to achieve highly. Individual talents and interests are identified, nurtured and celebrated. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They are attentive in lessons, and highly motivated to learn. Pupils benefit from the extensive range of enrichment opportunities provided by the school. The school has a carefully planned programme of trips and visits to build pupils' cultural capital and to support pupils to deepen their understanding of key areas of the school's curriculum. Pupils take on additional roles and responsibilities, such as pupil council and worship warriors with relish. Ongoing opportunities are provided so pupils engage with and contribute to their local community.
