Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2023

Pupils benefit from a broad and rich education at Holy Redeemer Catholic Primary School. The range and quality of experiences that pupils take part in beyond the classroom are a striking and positive feature of the school. Most pupils participate in a programme of extra-curricular clubs, carefully selected by leaders to spark pupils' talents and interests. The school is alive with activity from early in the morning until late evening. Pupils reflect the school's values, which reflect the Catholic character of the school, and get on well together. They look after each other and treat others with respect. Pupils make good friends at school. Pupils understand that bullying is wrong and say that such incidents are rare. Pupils know who to speak to if they are worried about something. They trust adults to sort matters out. Adults work hard to help pupils feel safe at school. This makes the school a happy and welcoming place for pupils to learn. Leaders ensure that pupils study a broad range of subjects. Pupils enjoy learning and they engage well in lessons. Most achieve well and are prepared for the next stage of their education by the time they leave the school.

What the school should improve

• The key information that leaders expect pupils to know and remember in a small number of subjects is not identified as clearly as it might be. This potentially limits pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that the knowledge and skills they expect pupils to learn is clearly identified in all subjects.
• Records of behaviour or safeguarding incidents are sometimes not completed well. This potentially hinders leaders from sharing and analysing accurate information. Leaders should refine systems to ensure that they record important information accurately.
