What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
This small, welcoming village school places the pupils at the heart of everything it does. Pupils are happy and thriving. They feel safe and well cared for. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Staff prioritise getting to know every family individually and are ambitious for every pupil to reach their full potential. Inclusion is firmly embedded within the school's ethos. Staff have high expectations for every pupil to succeed. Pupils are highly engaged in lessons. As a result, they achieve well. In a few subjects the most important knowledge is not as clear. As a result, pupils do not learn knowledge in these subjects as securely as they could. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils want to exceed the high expectations that are set for them. Kindness and respect permeate all aspects of school life. The school's values of confidence, motivation, independence and resilience are fundamental to the school's work in setting these expectations. Pupils talk positively about some of the wider opportunities they experience. These include residentials for pupils that start from Year 2 to develop independence and an extensive music offer where pupils can learn instruments and perform with other local schools.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not clearly identify the specific knowledge that pupils should learn. As a result, pupils do not effectively build on prior learning to ensure knowledge is fully secure. The school should continue to refine the curriculum to identify the specific knowledge to be taught to enable pupils to build a rich schema of learning.
