Summary
With a recent Ofsted rating of Good, this primary school demonstrates a solid foundation in education, particularly excelling in achieving expected standards in reading, writing, and maths, which places it in the top 96% nationally. However, there is room for improvement, as none of the students reached the higher standard in these subjects. The small pupil population of 21 may foster a close-knit community, but the overall LocaleIQ score suggests that it may not be as competitive as other schools in the area.
