Summary
With a recent Ofsted rating of Good, this primary school demonstrates strong overall performance, particularly in literacy and numeracy, where it ranks in the top 99% for expected standards in reading, writing, and maths at KS2. However, it faces challenges with only 14% of students meeting expected standards in combined subjects and no pupils achieving the higher standard. Given its small size of just 46 pupils, parents may appreciate the close-knit community environment, though limited published data may provide a less comprehensive view of its overall effectiveness.
