What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 November 2022

The 'family atmosphere' in this small village school helps pupils feel happy and safe. Each pupil is very well known to staff. Pupils enjoy attending this school. Leaders and staff have high expectations for all pupils. They have designed and delivered a curriculum which enables pupils to achieve well. Teachers adopt thoughtful approaches to meet the needs of pupils taught in mixed-aged classes. Leaders continue to develop the curriculum and the approaches to assessment. They have clear plans to further develop assessment in foundation subjects. Children in Nursery and Reception learn the routines of school quickly. They listen attentively and respond well to staff and their peers. Pupils' behaviour in lessons is good overall. On the playground pupils from all ages play and socialise well. Incidents of bullying are very rare. Pupils are confident that staff will resolve any issues promptly. Leaders and staff take any incidents of bullying very seriously. Staff successfully create opportunities for widening pupils' horizons. This enhances pupils' understanding of future educational and career pathways. Pupils are proud of their achievements in music and choir. Links with another local school in the trust have expanded pupils' experiences. This helps pupils to meet other pupils beyond this school.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders' endeavours to ensure that planning is well sequenced between early years and Year 1 is not complete. As a result, in some subjects, pupils' learning does not build effectively on prior knowledge. On occasion, teachers do not make suitable pedagogical choices. Leaders should complete their review of the recently introduced approach and improve practice to ensure children make a smooth transition from Reception and a stronger start to key stage 1.
  • Assessment in some foundation subjects is not fully developed. This makes it difficult for leaders and teachers to evaluate the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning. Leaders should complete their review of assessment in foundation subjects and introduce manageable and effective approaches to assess pupils' learning.
