What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 January 2026

Pupils enjoy attending this small village school. They know that staff are there for them and help them when they need it. Pupils arrive brimming with enthusiasm for the day ahead. Staff greet them with a reassuring smile and welcome them into their classrooms. Pupils settle quickly. Consistent routines set the foundations for positive behaviours throughout the school day. Generally, the school includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities in all aspects of school life. Staff help to break down barriers to learning that pupils may have through well-designed adaptations. Pupils enjoy finding out new things in their classes and asking questions if they are unsure. From the start, they learn about how to work with others collaboratively, reinforcing the family feel of the school. Pupils typically achieve well. They are ready for the next stage in education. The school creates a positive, respectful environment where pupils feel valued. This helps most pupils to attend regularly. Pupils sensibly follow the school rules. They know they are expected to be kind, respectful, try their hardest and listen well. This helps pupils to behave appropriately. Pupils benefit from warm, trusting relationships with staff, which helps them feel safe and cared for. They know they have trusted adults to speak to if they have any worries. As a result, bullying is very rare. If it does occur, staff deal with it swiftly. The school prepares pupils well for life in modern Britain. For example, school council elections develop pupils’ understanding of democracy, while the eco club helps pupils to improve the local environment. All pupils take part in trips, which they enjoy. For example, pupils visit a museum in Plymouth or collaborate with another local school to watch a pantomime.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should ensure that the curriculum for writing, and how it is taught, supports pupils to develop their writing fluency and accuracy consistently well. • Leaders should provide more opportunities for pupils to learn about diversity beyond their local community to deepen their cultural awareness.
