What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 July 2022
This is a smaller than average school in a rural setting. It is a thriving community. Pupils work together happily every day. Parents praise the school and value the dedication of the headteacher. As one parent said, 'I cannot be happier with the school.' The headteacher has high expectations for pupils and staff alike. There has been a rapid change in the recognition of what pupils can achieve. This shows in pupils' attitudes to what they are learning. Pupils are proud of their work and present it neatly. The school is, overall, a calm and orderly environment. Staff are skilful in dealing with any emotional issues that pupils have. However, there are occasional times when some pupils feel uncomfortable because of the behaviour of a minority. Most pupils understand right from wrong, but there are a few who are not yet aware of how to be respectful consistently. The Christian ethos pervades the school. Leaders have provided an attractive outdoor space where pupils exercise or sit quietly in the prayer corner. Parents designed and built the prayer space from donations. This is a true reflection of the commitment that parents have to the school.
What the school should improve
- In a few curriculums, including the early years, pupils are not gaining knowledge in a carefully sequenced way. As a result, some pupils are not building on prior learning effectively. Leaders must ensure that curriculums are planned and implemented well, so that pupils learn more and remember more over time.
- A few older pupils shared concerns about some disrespectful behaviour they have experienced, mainly verbal, during social times. As a result, a minority of pupils feel uncomfortable about the way their peers behave towards them. Leaders must ensure that strong communication and education lead to a culture of respect continuously.
