What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils thrive academically and personally at Our Lady and St Rose of Lima Catholic Primary School. Guided by its mission statement, school provides a caring environment that fosters strong values, respect, and a commitment to helping others. The shared ambition that every pupil can achieve their very best is realised. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They speak warmly about the many opportunities on offer. They benefit from experiences such as 'vocations week', and school trips which broaden their horizons. Pupils take on roles such as house captains or being part of the 'Lighthouse Group' with pride, knowing that they make a difference. Pupils' singing of the school song, including the line 'We are in it together come what may' is just one example of how everybody belongs. Pupils feel safe at school and trust the adults who care for them. They behave exceptionally well, demonstrating respect for one another and for staff. They are being very well prepared for life in Birmingham and the wider world. Parents and carers speak highly of the school. One parent, echoing the views of many, said the school 'shines as a beacon of light in the local community'.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, there is room to further embed the strong practice seen across the majority of the curriculum. This means pupils do not achieve as exceptionally well as they do in those other subjects. The school should focus on continuing to develop and embed the curriculum so that pupils achieve consistently highly across all subjects.
