Although attendance has been in line with the national average for the last three years, there are still some pupils who need to attend school more regularly. Pupils follow instructions and listen attentively in class.

However, at times, some pupils are still unclear what they are learning and what they need to do to improve. The school plans effectively for mixed-age classes but there are times when pupils do not receive learning appropriate to their specific needs. Children have good access to outdoor learning in the early years, but the curriculum at times does not give them activities that they can investigate and learn from independently.
