With a recent Ofsted rating of Good, this primary school demonstrates solid performance, particularly with 67% of pupils meeting expected standards in reading, writing, and maths at KS2, placing it in the top 45% nationally. However, it has room for improvement, as no students achieved the higher standard in these subjects. The school's small size of 44 pupils may foster a close-knit community, but limited data on other academic metrics suggests parents should consider visiting for a more comprehensive understanding.
