What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, said that they feel happy and safe at Cheadle Catholic Infant School. They arrive each day excited to begin their learning. The school is ambitious for what all pupils can achieve. Pupils grow in resilience and confidence with the care and nurturing support that staff provide. Staff help pupils to learn from their mistakes and to develop a 'can-do' attitude. Pupils look after each other and are keen to make sure that everyone has a friend at playtimes. Those pupils who act as 'bully busters' look out for any rare signs of bullying. They are eager to provide help and support to their peers. Starting in the early years, children respond positively to the expectations that staff have for their behaviour and attitudes to learning. For example, children in the Nursery Year learn to listen to each other and take turns. In key stage 1, pupils also behave well. Pupils benefit from a well-thought-out offer to enhance their personal development. For example, the 'time-to-shine' curriculum expands the range of opportunities that pupils have to help and make a difference to others. Many parents and carers shared their immense pride with inspectors at how well their children are learning. Pupils are equally proud to attend this school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, staff do not identify pupils' misconceptions quickly enough. Consequently, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge, and this prevents them from learning to the depth that they could. The school should ensure that staff use the information they gain from assessments to adapt future learning and to remedy the gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- Some pupils do not have a sufficient understanding of some religions, faiths and cultures that may differ to their own. As a result, pupils are not as prepared as they could be to take their place in a modern and diverse society. The school should ensure that the curriculum enables pupils to build a secure and age- appropriate understanding of how different people live in modern Britain.
