What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
In this school, pupils grow and develop in a nurturing environment that prepares them well for their future lives. The school is central to village life. Pupils of all ages share their talents with open performances in the church or singing to residents at the village hall. They also take part in events supporting the community, such as litter picking. This strong relationship was evident during the COVID-19 pandemic when the school worked closely with the local community to provide resources and support for pupils' learning. Pupils benefit from meaningful opportunities for them to contribute to life in the school, such as membership of the school council and sports crew. Pupils are encouraged to reflect on their feelings, their beliefs and their culture. They build personal well-being books, which help in developing their sense of self-worth. Personal achievements and exceptional talents are recognised and celebrated regularly at the school. Pupils behave well. They meet the school's high expectations, showing good levels of self- discipline and motivation. Pupils work hard in lessons. They are proud of their work across the curriculum. Children in the Nursery follow instructions well. They quickly learn good self-care routines and table manners.
What the school should improve
- The school does not have a secure grasp of the teaching knowledge needed to deliver all subjects sufficiently well. This leads to pupils learning effectively in some subjects but not in others. The school must ensure that staff have the teaching expertise they need to implement all subject curriculums as intended so that pupils secure knowledge in the long term.
- In some subjects, the school does not assess effectively how well pupils learn. Consequently, in those subjects, pupils do not build and deepen their knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure it assesses pupils' progression through the curriculum effectively so that future learning helps pupils deepen their knowledge over time.
