What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
Our Lady's is a haven for pupils. Everyone is welcome and included at this school. As a result, pupils feel very well cared for by staff who know them well. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Typically, pupils leave Year 6 ready for the next stage in their education. Pupils enjoy their lessons and like to learn new ideas. They persevere when they face challenges. There are high levels of mutual respect between pupils and staff. As a result, pupils are keen to do well and impress their teachers. Breaktimes are harmonious, and pupils play happily with their friends. Pupils, including children in the early years, are sensible and polite. They know the school rules and keep to them. The atmosphere in the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils are keen to come to school each morning. They are proud to be part of their school community and they recommend it to their friends. Pupils benefit from the many wider opportunities that the school provides. For example, they develop their skills and talents by attending a wide range of extra-curricular clubs such as gymnastics, times tables and book club.
What the school should improve
- The books that a few pupils read do not match their phonics knowledge. This means that these pupils are not able to experience success. The school should ensure that reading books are carefully matched to the sounds that pupils know.
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the key knowledge that pupils must know. This makes it difficult for staff to design learning that helps pupils build a secure body of knowledge over time. The school should ensure that the curriculum provides sufficient guidance for teachers so that they know what pupils should know and remember.
