We are thrilled with the overwhelmingly positive feedback in the OFSTED report. Please do read it in full to see exactly what makes our school so special. We've chosen a few of the amazing comments within and shared them below:

"This small school is a great hive of activity at the heart of the village community. Leaders use many local resources to enrich pupils’ education. Pupils feel safe and happy. Parents highly value the school’s nurturing ethos. One parent commented that, ‘Staff make school life an extension of family life.’ Pupils and staff express similar feelings. They talk about how they know and care for each other and say that the school feels like one big family."

"Pupils show great enthusiasm for every aspect of school life. They behave well in lessons and get on with their work. All ages support and encourage each other in many active games at playtimes. Pupils know that bullying is not tolerated."

"Parents greatly appreciate the stability provided by the (acting) headteacher. They say the school has improved considerably and provides greater opportunities for pupils. The few staff members go to extra lengths to provide many after-school activities."

"Pupils enjoy the sports, craft and singing clubs. They are proud that their athletics team has reached the county finals. Leaders have increased ambitions to enable pupils to ‘reach for the sky’. They are working hard to ensure that pupils can achieve consistently well across the curriculum."

"The arrangements for safeguarding are effective."

Please come and speak to us if you would like to know more about the improvements we have been making.
