What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 October 2023
Pupils feel very happy at this school and attend well. They proudly celebrate the rich mix of cultures that make Holy Rosary and St Anne's unique and special. They know that the school and the academy trust have high expectations for them, including for pupils who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils live up to these expectations and achieve well. Pupils are very polite and courteous. They understand the school's rules and the reasons for them. During social times, pupils conduct themselves well, chatting sensibly and playing with their friends. In lessons, most pupils listen carefully, follow instructions and are keen to complete learning activities. Large numbers of pupils attend the wide range of activities which the school provides outside the school day, including the reading café and musical theatre. Pupils benefit from the high standard of choral singing that comes from being the lead choir school for Leeds Cathedral. They make the most of the opportunities that the school provides to participate and compete in a wide array of sports. Pupils proudly take on leadership roles, such as being playground buddies and eco-warriors. Elected representatives, including school councillors and bistro buddies, gather and communicate the views of their peers well. The school takes account of their suggestions, for example by providing a daily salad bar at lunchtime. These activities build pupils' interests and develop their self-confidence.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, some learning activities do not reflect the curriculum's high ambition for all. As a result, some pupils do not reach their full academic potential. The school should ensure that learning activities allow all pupils to achieve their best.
- On occasion, some pupils find it difficult to focus in lessons and this can disrupt learning. The school should develop strategies to better enable all pupils to demonstrate positive approaches to learning.
