Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils thrive in this small school. They describe being part of a family where everyone knows each other well. This helps them to feel happy and develop confidence. Pupils value the warm relationships they have with staff. They know they can share any worries. Pupils willingly demonstrate the school's values.

As a result, in lessons, pupils complete learning activities keenly, which helps them achieve well. Pupils value gaining house points in recognition of their efforts and successes. Pupils excitedly look forward to the weekly 'sparkle' assemblies, which celebrate individual successes with the whole school.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has made considerable improvements to the curriculum. Across subjects, the important knowledge that pupils need to learn is carefully arranged. This begins in the early years, where the curriculum is adapted to build from children's starting points. New knowledge is introduced in small steps. In foundation subjects, the curriculum has been further developed so that it helps pupils to secure a real understanding of these subjects.
The school has rightly taken action to improve pupils' learning of spelling, punctuation and grammar. Across the curriculum, this is now a high priority. Teachers deliberately teach and revisit these skills. This is improving how well all pupils develop their knowledge of how to use grammar and punctuation. It is helping pupils to spell with greater accuracy.
