What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
This is a small school which sits at the heart of this rural community. Pupils are proud of their school and would highly recommend it. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and positive. Pupils know who to talk to if they are worried. As a result, pupils feel safe in the school's nurturing environment. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The curriculum is ambitious for all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Carefully tailored support and a well-delivered curriculum ensure that most pupils are achieving well. As a result, outcomes are improving. Pupils typically behave well in lessons and around the school. Older pupils act as excellent role models for younger pupils around school. A rich range of wider opportunities enhance and further the curriculum. Pupils benefit from the different extra-curricular clubs and trips. These are thoughtfully planned alongside the curriculum and mean that pupils broaden their horizons. The sporting offer for all pupils is a particular strength. Pupils eagerly take on leadership roles to ensure they play an active part in the life of the school. Pupils develop their confidence and leadership skills in these valued roles.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, changes in curriculum content are relatively recent. Staff are still addressing gaps in pupils' knowledge and coverage from the previous curriculum. The school should ensure that the new curriculum is embedded so that pupils learn the intended knowledge in each subject consistently well.
- A small number of pupils find it hard to meet the school's expectations around behaviour. This results in them missing key learning. The school should continue to work with all pupils to help them meet the expectations of the behaviour policy, amending their strategies as needed if they are not proving to be effective.
