This report uses the following word scale to make clear judgements made by inspectors:
excellentoutstanding, sector leading
very goodmajor strengths
goodimportant strengths with some areas for improvement
satisfactorystrengths just outweigh weaknesses
weakimportant weaknesses
unsatisfactorymajor weaknesses
In my opinion, a few more of those 'satisfactory' results could have done with having been 'good' or better.

Compare it to this report, for a similarly sized school in a similarly rural area:

I'm sure members of the Parent Council or the head teacher will be pleased to discuss any queries you might have with regards to the report and its contents.
