What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils love coming here. They appreciate the caring staff who want the best for them. They feel valued and known in this small school, at the heart of its village community. Staff have high expectations of every pupil. Pupils tend to achieve well. They are keen to learn and enthused by the interesting topics they study. They relish learning activities that encourage them to remember and think about what they have learned. Pupils value the many experiences provided by the school, including visits to interesting places and sporting or music events. These opportunities help pupils to discover and develop interests. Behaviour around the school is calm and respectful. Pupils do their best to demonstrate the school's values, such as 'perseverance' and 'care'. They enjoy receiving awards in 'celebration worship' for their efforts. Older pupils are proud to take on roles such as being a house captain or school councillor. They are considerate and help younger pupils around the school. Pupils feel safe, and bullying is rare. Pupils know who they can talk to if they have any worries or concerns.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, learning activities are not designed effectively enough. As a result, some pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge that they could. The school needs to ensure that learning activities enable pupils to deepen their knowledge, skills and understanding, in order to achieve as highly as they can.
- Some of the targets designed for pupils with SEND do not define clearly what pupils need to achieve. As a result, there are times when it is difficult for staff to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge to set appropriate targets for pupils with SEND and that it provides teachers with the information they need to adapt their teaching to help pupils with SEND achieve well.
