Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 May 2024

Pupils are proud of their school. They play an active role in making it a pleasant place to be for all learners. The values embodied in the school's 'FAMILY' acronym (faith, aspiration, motivation, independence, love, you are unique) are threaded through everything the school does. Many pupils, staff, parents and carers spoke effusively about how the school community is like a family. Pupils are safe and feel safe at Corpus Christi. Behaviour at the school is exemplary and pupils said that they can turn to any member of staff should they need to. The school is highly attuned to pupils who are finding it difficult to follow the school's high expectations. Pupils feel supported by this approach and know that they can trust adults to help them. Pupils are eager to learn because the curriculum is well designed, aspirational and interesting. Teachers ensure that pupils are engaged in their learning. Through timely questions and check-ins, teachers know that pupils understand what they are being taught and are ready to move on to new learning. Outcomes in the Year 6 national assessments are well above average. Across subjects, pupils achieve incredibly well. Older pupils are enjoying learning on the St Martin-in-the-Fields site. Leaders and staff have skilfully and sensitively helped pupils to adapt to school life on the temporary premises, while maintaining the excellent quality of education on offer.
