What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2024
Pupils say that they feel happy and safe in this small village school. Most parents and carers agree. Pupils trust adults to help them if they need it. Staff know the pupils well. Pupils are friendly, polite and well-behaved. A few receive extra support to help them to meet the school's expectations of their conduct. Changes in staffing have unsettled some parents and older pupils over the last two years. Even so, the majority of parents appreciate the teaching, care and extra opportunities provided by the school. One parent captured the views of many when they said: 'This is a fantastic family-focused village school with strong links to the community.' The school is ambitious for its pupils. There is a strong focus on pupils' learning in the core subjects. Pupils do particularly well in their reading and speak with enthusiasm about books they have read. Outside the classroom, pupils enjoy extra opportunities to take part in sport and music. They can take on leadership roles within the school. They can also play a role in their local village community. For example, pupils can get involved in traditional well dressing.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculums are not precise enough about the knowledge that pupils need to learn. This means that teachers make their own decisions about what knowledge to prioritise and, in so doing, do not emphasise some of the important knowledge, concepts or skills in those subjects. The school should continue its planned reviews of each subject, ensuring that the full range of knowledge specified is logically sequenced for all subjects, so that pupils achieve as well as they could.
