Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils feel safe at school and cared for by staff. The small school culture and warm sense of community start from the school's unique approach to road safety. Staff welcome pupils on the busy road outside the school and guide them through the school gates. The school has very few pupils with any form of disadvantage. The school recognises this and provides experiences to pupils beyond their lived experience in the village. As a result, pupils are open-minded and inclusive.
Pupils are confident and articulate. Pupils relish opportunities to work in the community. Their experiences, such as working with the parish council to plant trees, have a positive impact on the community. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are fully included in the school's experiences and opportunities. Consequently, all pupils develop into active citizens.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The curriculum is engaging and well considered. Pupils relish the opportunity to learn a wide range of subjects and are proud of what they know and can do. The school has carefully identified and sequenced the most important knowledge from Reception onwards. For example, fundamental movement skills are taught methodically, starting with basic balances in Reception. In key stage 1 dance, pupils plan and perform a sequence of movements. Year 6 pupils build on this and use and demonstrate more complex routines and choreography. The curriculum design has been carefully considered in some subjects to support pupils with SEND. As a result, most pupils achieve well.
