What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

Pupils shape the warm, happy and safe ethos in their school. They suggest ways the school can improve, including creating a 'wolf pack', where pupils design games for younger peers to play during social times. This helps pupils of all ages to mix confidently. It also contributes to the impressive community spirit throughout the school. The school's motto begins 'Small school, big dreams'. Pupils are proud that the school helps them reach ambitious goals. Visiting speakers enthuse pupils about future careers. Pupils enjoy exceptional pastoral care blended with high academic standards. Pupils achieve well. This is evident in published outcomes. The curriculum also prepares pupils well for their next steps in learning. The early years setting is vibrant, successful and a language-rich environment. Thoughtfully planned activities absorb children in learning. Children confidently share this learning with others. They use ambitious vocabulary linked to their current theme. This includes talking about how bears 'hibernate' in the winter. Strong foundations prepare children well for Year 1 and beyond. Pupils are proud of their local community. They write to the local care home. Pupils also pick litter in the streets. Parents and carers refer to the school as being at the heart of their village.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school has not embedded a consistent approach to checking on pupils' learning. The school does not currently have a clear enough picture of what pupils know, remember and can do in these areas, which could slow pupils' progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure it has clear approaches in place to check that pupils have successfully learned and applied the intended curriculum.
