School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Throughout my visit to your school, it was clear that pupils are eager to learn as part of a warm, harmonious community. Pupils give of their best in lessons, and their work in books show they take care with their presentation and handwriting. Pupils remarked how learning was made fun, especially outside, where the forest school activities play a significant part in the uniqueness of your school. Parents recognise that, despite being in a rural setting, the activities available to pupils within and beyond the school are plentiful and rewarding. You and your leaders have an accurate understanding of why the school is successful, and you plan effectively to bring about further improvements. As a result, you have significantly raised standards in many areas of the school’s work since the previous inspection. In particular, children get off to a good start to their education in the pre-school and Reception classes. The proportion of children reaching or exceeding expected standards has risen year on year and is projected to be well above average in 2017. Following the previous inspection, you strengthened teaching by ensuring that pupils are moved on in their learning more routinely. Your use of the ‘speech bubbles’ to capture pupils’ gains in knowledge, skills or understanding, the moment they occur, is proving very successful. Teaching is characterised by high expectations and good subject knowledge that promotes pupils’ enjoyment and engagement in learning and ensures their good achievement.
