From the inspection on 16 April 2024

Pupils enjoy attending All Souls' Catholic Primary School. They describe the school as being like a family. Older pupils care for younger pupils. They play collaboratively at lunchtimes. All pupils say that they feel safe. They say that pupils are kind to each other. Pupils behave well. They are calm and polite. They hold doors open and greet adults with a cheerful 'good morning'. Pupils enthusiastically follow the school rules 'be ready, be respectful, be safe'. Pupils are attentive in lessons and move in an orderly way around the school. Staff and pupils have warm relationships. Pupils are confident that they can share their worries and that staff will resolve their concerns quickly. Bullying is rare. Pupils look forward to their weekly 'superstars' assemblies. Good behaviour, work and attendance are celebrated here. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are enthused about the wide range of opportunities the school offers. One parent commented, 'Wow - the opportunities that are available are amazing.' The school enriches pupils' learning through a wide range of trips. For example, there are visits to Coventry Cathedral and a residential centre in Wales.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum has been recently revised and is at an early stage of becoming embedded. This means that there are some gaps in pupils' knowledge in these subject areas. The school should continue its work to implement these curriculum changes and further develop ways to help pupils remember their learning in these subjects.
  • In a small number of foundation subjects, the school has not ensured that assessment is used effectively to identify what pupils have understood. This means that teachers do not always know where there are gaps in pupils' learning. The school should ensure that assessment in all subjects enables teachers to identify gaps in pupils' understanding and address these.
