Pupils are happy coming to school. Yet, the quality of education they receive is poor. Leaders provide a curriculum that is often a jumbled mix of lessons. Pupils complete work that does not build on what they already know or can do. They often find the work too easy. Pupils lose concentration and their learning slows. They achieve far less than they should. The support for pupils’ personal development is strong. Pupils enjoy a broad range of opportunities such as trips and visits. They really enjoy taking part in the wide variety of sporting competitions. There is a lot for pupils to do at breaktimes. Older pupils play well with younger children, and like to help and encourage children learning to balance on the play equipment. Pupils are taught to respect each other. Bullying is rare. Pupils told us that because the school is so small, they get to know everyone and make friends easily. Despite significant weaknesses in key stages 1 and 2, children in the early years receive a much better education. The children, including the very youngest in the new Nursery provision, are well looked after, happy and learn well.
