What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Haydock English Martyrs' is a warm, welcoming and caring school. It sets high expectations for pupils' achievements. Pupils, including children in the early years, have highly positive attitudes to their learning. They are enthused by their lessons, take pride in their work and achieve well. The school has successfully achieved its aim to 'light the flame for lifelong learning' in their pupils. Pupils behave exceptionally well. As a result, there is a calm, respectful and purposeful atmosphere throughout the school. Pupils respond positively to staff's requests and direction and openly offer support and help to their fellow pupils. Pupils are happy and feel safe at school. They are aware of who they can talk to if they have a concern. Pupils benefit from the school's extensive grounds. This helps to stimulate their engagement and learning. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have access to an extensive range of activities and experiences. For example, team building and sporting clubs allow pupils to develop their talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- At times, the school does not use all of the assessment information available to support pupils' learning. This impacts on some pupils' ability to connect wider aspects of their developing knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that assessment strategies are used consistently.
