What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils, including students in the sixth form, thrive at All Hallows Catholic College. The school's mission, for pupils to 'aspire not to have more but to be more', underpins every aspect of school life. Pupils show respect and compassion for others. They have warm relationships with staff. Sixth-form students act as exemplary role models. The school has high aspirations for all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are expected to achieve well, and most do. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They know that any discriminatory behaviour will not be tolerated. If this type of behaviour does happen, pupils are confident to report incidents. They know that the school will deal with them effectively. Pupils feel safe and well cared for in school. Pupils are grateful for all the opportunities that the school provides for them to develop their confidence, skills and talents. These include sports clubs, choirs, a tactical games club and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. There are lots of opportunities to take on responsible roles, such as being anti-bullying ambassadors or members of the 'Eco- Council'.
What the school should improve
- On some occasions, staff do not adapt their delivery of the curriculum well enough to support pupils with SEND. When this happens, some pupils do not receive the support they need to learn the curriculum as well as they should. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to adapt their teaching practice to meet the needs of all pupils.
