This is a good school The interim headteacher is determined that pupils in this small school receive the best possible standard of education. She is held in high regard by parents, staff and pupils.
Governors are impressively proactive in all aspects of their work. They provide a high level of challenge and support for school leaders. Pupils behave exceptionally well.
They have respectful relationships with each other and the staff. Parents and carers are extremely positive about the school. They feel their children are safe, well cared for and treated as individuals.
Safeguarding is a strength of the school. Leaders and staff know pupils well and are... highly responsive to their needs. Teaching is good.
Teachers and support staff appreciate the useful opportunities the headteacher gives them to develop their skills. The small number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils make good progress because they are supported well. Children get off to a strong start in the early years.
They settle into school quickly and happily. The curriculum is broad and balanced. However, leaders' work to deepen pupils' skills, knowledge and understanding in subjects other than English and mathematics remains a priority.
High expectations and challenge for pupils, including the most able, are increasingly evident but there is a lack consistency across the school, and within some subjects. Overall, pupils achieve good outcomes at the end of key stages 1 and 2. Current pupils are making strong progress in reading, writing and mathematics.
The skilled teaching of phonics (letters and the sounds they represent) and recent improvements in the teaching of reading and writing are beginning to reap benefits. As a result, pupils make strong progress in these subjects. Teachers assess pupils' work accurately in reading, writing and mathematics.
However, subject leaders do not rigorously monitor teaching and learning, to ensure that the highest standards are maintained, in subjects other than English and mathematics.
