What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
Pupils feel safe at school and cared for by staff. The small school culture and warm sense of community start from the school's unique approach to road safety. Staff welcome pupils on the busy road outside the school and guide them through the school gates. The school has very few pupils with any form of disadvantage. The school recognises this and provides experiences to pupils beyond their lived experience in the village. As a result, pupils are open-minded and inclusive. Pupils are confident and articulate. Pupils relish opportunities to work in the community. Their experiences, such as working with the parish council to plant trees, have a positive impact on the community. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are fully included in the school's experiences and opportunities. Consequently, all pupils develop into active citizens. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning. Pupils enjoy learning across the curriculum and generally achieve well. Occasionally, some pupils are not as focused as they should be, and staff do not manage this consistently well. As a result, there are times when lesson time is lost, which slows learning.
What the school should improve
- The school's expectations of pupils' engagement is sometimes variable. This means that pupils are not always as focused in lessons as they could be, and this can slow their learning. The school must support all staff to maintain consistently high expectations of pupils' behaviour and focus so that disengagement and incidents of disruptive behaviour are reduced, so that learning time is maximised.
