What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils learn happily at this friendly, community-focused school. They make a flying start from the moment they arrive in Nursery. They learn the well-constructed curriculum enthusiastically as they grow up through the school. The school has formed close links with its rural community. For example, the school has established positive relationships with parents, staff and those who live in the village by leading on regular and well-loved community events. Pupils benefit from well-planned extra-curricular opportunities that underpin their learning in class. The school has high expectations. Staff share in leaders' aspirations. They care deeply about pupils and their learning. They know each pupil as an individual. Staff use this to ensure lessons are interesting, impactful and fun. Everyone works together to ensure learning links to pupils' direct experiences. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), participate and learn together collaboratively. As a result, pupils achieve well. Staff secure positive relationships with and between pupils. Bullying is very rare and, if it does happen, staff deal with it effectively. Pupils show strong attitudes to their learning and look out for one another. As a result, pupils' behaviour is excellent and they attend regularly.
What the school should improve
- Improvements to the curriculum need more time to embed in some subjects. This means that pupils' learning is more secure in some subjects than others, because they know less of the intended curriculum in subjects that have been improved more recently. The school should continue to embed and refine the curriculum so that pupils know and remember more of the intended knowledge consistently across subjects.
