What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 February 2023

Pupils are proud to attend this happy and welcoming school. Teachers' expectations of pupils are high in all classes. Most pupils live up to these expectations. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Pupils know that their teachers care about them. Most pupils behave well. They uphold the school's Catholic values and motto of 'believe, achieve and be the best you can be'. Pupils know what bullying is but are not concerned by it. They know that staff will act immediately to stop any occurrence of bullying. Pupils work hard in a broad range of subjects. They achieve well, particularly in reading, by the end of key stage 2. Most pupils are well supported in the classroom by staff. However, leaders do not always check that some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) consistently receive the extra help that they need. Leaders promote pupils' spiritual, social and moral development well. The school's assembly programme helps to develop pupils' appreciation of different religious festivals and important national events. Pupils enjoy participating in special projects such as displaying their artwork to help fund a local food bank. Many pupils enjoy taking part in after-school clubs, including opportunities in sports, music and drama.

What the school should improve

  • The leadership of the school's provision for pupils with SEND is too variable. The curriculum is not always suitably adapted to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. Some parents are not involved as well as they could be in the review process. As a result, leaders cannot be sure that all pupils with SEND learn as well as they should. Leaders must ensure that all pupils with SEND get the help they need to achieve well and that parents have the reassurance they need.
