Rosary Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 September 2022

This is a warm and caring school. School staff praise and encourage pupils routinely when interacting with them. Many parents and carers appreciated the kindness and compassion leaders show towards their children. Pupils are happy and safe in school. Leaders listen to pupils and value their opinions. They create different ways for pupils to share their ideas about the school. Leaders and pupils work together to make agreed changes. Recently, for example, school council representatives requested a well-being room for pupils to use to support each other. Leaders and pupils worked together to design and create a new shared space for this. Pupils behave sensibly. They are taught to recognise different types of bullying. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying appropriately so that issues do not escalate. Pupils trust that the adults will help them and are confident to speak to school staff if they are worried. They know that leaders will sort out any problems that may arise. Leaders have high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Leaders work hard to ensure that all pupils learn the curriculum well and achieve highly. Leaders continually refine the curriculum. They know which areas need more work and have plans to improve them.

What the school should improve

• Leaders have not sequenced all important subject content equally well. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge or struggle to connect prior learning to new knowledge in a few subjects. Leaders must implement their plans to make sure subject knowledge is sequenced well across all subjects.
