OFSTED REPORTS

Our latest OFSTED inspection took place in January 2023. HMI inspectors found ......

 - Pupils are happy and love learning at this nurturing school.

 - Inspectors experienced the strong and caring ethos that permeates the school. 

 - Leaders and teachers know their pupils very well. They are determined that each child’s journey through school will excite and engage them.

 - The staff team works hard to ensure that this school is filled with both learning and laughter.

 - Children in the early years settle quickly and live up to the high expectations of their teachers. They relish learning and work well together for sustained periods.

 - Leaders have prioritised reading. Pupils do well in reading. The new curriculum plans in English and mathematics are helping teachers to plan and deliver lessons that enable them to teach subject content in a clear, well considered sequence. This has helped pupils to remember what they are taught.

 - Leaders provide pupils with a range of activities, which include a varied menu of inter-school sports
opportunities, singing with a vast choir of children from the region and staying away from
home on school trips.

 - Leaders have increasingly high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged.

 - Adults delight in working in this small village school and within the federation of two
schools.  Governors continue to be instrumental in moving the federation forward. Their
passion and commitment to the school is tangible.
