What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly school. The school's 'BRING it' values mean that pupils develop confidence in their unique talents. They know when they have brought courage, creativity and friendship to their learning and play. Pupils achieve well. The wealth of enrichment and extra-curricular activities ignites pupil's enthusiasm. This small, rural village school lives up to its motto of 'BIG ambitions and a BIG heart'. There is something for everyone. Pupils are hugely proud of their sporting achievements. They are avid participants in competitions and events both within and beyond the trust. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They get along with one another well and are extremely courteous. Pupils look out for each other and understand the difference between day to day fall outs and bullying. Staff are good at sorting out any issues and pupils trust them to do this. In Reception Year, children quickly learn the school's routines. They play and share well with one another. Pupils have a strong knowledge of the risks when using the internet and know how to stay safe online. They learn about healthy relationships and understand the importance of looking after their physical and mental health through the school's personal, social and health education programme.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes expectations of pupils' work are not high enough. The work given to pupils does not always give them opportunities to develop deeper thinking such as reasoning and justifying. The school should ensure the work given to pupils provides them with the opportunity to think deeply and critically across the curriculum.
- Some pupils do not attend well enough. Consequently, these pupils miss out on valuable learning and do not build their knowledge as well as they could. The school should strengthen its approach to monitoring, action and evaluation of individuals and groups to raise the attendance of those who are persistently absent.
