There is a strong sense of history and community spirit at this small village school. Pupils are happy and keen to attend. They enjoy their friendships and are kind to each other. They feel safe. Pupils show a mature understanding of the school’s vision ‘Love to Learn, Learn to Love.’ Parents are supportive and positive about the school’s work. Pupils’ behaviour, on the whole, is commendable. Pupils are polite and respectful to each other as well as to adults. They have a good understanding of the rules and follow these well. Older pupils enjoy the many leadership responsibilities they have, such as being a prefect, house captain or head boy or girl. They undertake their duties with enthusiasm. The youngest children settle into school happily. Across all ages, pupils learn and play harmoniously together. However, the many changes to leadership and staffing in recent years have had a detrimental impact on the quality of education. New leadership, with the support of Aletheia Anglican Academies Trust (AAAT), is now beginning to bring in the many improvements needed. There remains work to do to develop the school’s curriculum and leadership across all subjects and raise expectations of what pupils can do.
