What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
Pupils, and children in the early years, enjoy coming to school and feel safe and welcome. Pupils get on well with their teachers and enjoy spending time with their friends. The school lies at the heart of the community. Leaders, parents and pupils all describe the school as having a family feel. Pupils take part in important village events, such as the May Queen Festival and help at church coffee mornings. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. In lessons, and around school, pupils live up to these expectations. Pupils, including children in the early years, work well in class and take pride in their work. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils behave well around school. Pupils know the rules and are polite and respectful towards each other and adults. Lessons are rarely disrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils do not worry about bullying. They know that if it happened, it would be dealt with quickly by staff. Pupils benefit from a wide range of clubs and activities. For example, they talked proudly about representing the school in sports events. Pupils value the attractive school grounds, particularly the areas that are used for developing their skills through outdoor learning.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that the curriculum for some subjects defines the different types of essential knowledge that pupils will learn from the early years to Year 6. This means that some pupils do not remember knowledge as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum for all subjects identifies the different types of essential knowledge pupils will build from the early years to Year 6, so that they are better prepared for secondary school.
