Pupils enjoy coming to this friendly and inclusive village school. They are happy and feel safe. Leaders aspire for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve highly. However, some aspects of the curriculum are not fully developed and some key stage 2 pupils, struggling to learn to read, are not given the help they need to catch up quickly. Pupils behave well and look after each other. Relationships between pupils and staff are highly positive and respectful. Pupils trust adults in school to help them if needed. Incidents of bullying are low, and leaders respond to these well. Pupils know and can use the schools’ five learning behaviours: ‘we are aspirational, community minded, curious, determined and independent’. Parents and carers recognise the strengths of the school. Many of them commenting on the positive changes made by the new leadership and staff team. Pupils benefit from a range of visits, visitors and wider learning opportunities, including instrumental tuition, a whole school visit to Marwell Zoo and participation in local events, such as the ‘Henge project’. Pupils are proud of the leadership positions they hold and make a positive contribution to the life of the school and beyond.
