Our Lady and St Joseph Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 October 2023

Pupils enjoy coming to school very much. They exude a love for learning. Leaders have ensured that pupils encounter a rich set of experiences during their time at the school. Pupils demonstrate the school motto of 'shine with love, kindness and respect'. They do this through the positive interactions that they have with their peers and adults at the school. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are taught a broad and highly ambitious curriculum. Pupils are able to master the knowledge that they learn exceptionally well due to the support that is provided by all school staff. This is exemplified by pupils' strong outcomes in national assessments. Pupils' excellent behaviour both supports their learning and the building of the whole school community. They play and work together collaboratively. Parents and carers appreciate the family feel of the school. They like that it provides their children with an inclusive and diverse environment. Pupils' views about how their school could be even better are acted on. For example, pupils recently helped to plan their play spaces and raised funds to make their designs a reality. Pupils are well cared for by the staff team. They know that they have a trusted adult who they can speak to should they have any worries. Pupils are kept safe.
