What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 July 2025
This small school provides an environment where pupils thrive. Pupils are proud to attend this nurturing, caring and happy place, where everyone is valued. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and kind. Pupils know there is always someone to talk to if they have any concerns. They are happy and inquisitive learners who benefit from a calm and harmonious learning environment. The school is highly ambitious for pupils. They rise to these aspirations and achieve well. Teachers present learning in clear and engaging ways, which motivates and develops pupils' interest and enthusiasm. Pupils settle quickly and work collaboratively in lessons. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. As a result, behaviour is positive across the school. Pupils interact joyfully, playing together well on the playground. Their politeness and good manners contribute to a welcoming and friendly environment. Besides academic learning, pupils gain life skills such as understanding beach-safety flag protocols when visiting the beach. They also gain insights into the natural environment through learning in the nearby forest area. Pupils take part in village events, which fosters their sense of belonging and community. They are prepared well for their next stage of education.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, recent curriculum developments are still being embedded. As a result, some pupils do not consistently acquire the depth of knowledge they need. The school should ensure that pupils are consistently supported to build and retain a deep and secure body of knowledge across all subjects.
