What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Pupils experience a broad and balanced curriculum offer. The school takes care to ensure that pupils in the mixed-aged classes access learning at an age-appropriate level. In recent years, much has been done to improve the curriculum in all subjects. Curriculum overviews have been put in place to ensure teachers know how learning will build over time and what overarching topics will be taught, each term, in all classes.
Improvements to the curriculum for mathematics can be seen. The school has made important decisions about how this subject is taught from the early years and built on across the school. Pupils are taught mathematics in single year groups to ensure that they can access the learning and achieve success. The school engages the support of external experts to help them refine and improve the mathematics offer. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are carefully assessed, and bespoke learning programmes are put in place to support them to achieve. This is carefully planned to help these pupils move back onto the mainstream curriculum when they are ready.
