What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Pupils at Saint Augustine Webster Catholic Voluntary Academy are happy and safe. They are proud of their school. Pupils attend well and come to school eager to learn. Lessons are rarely disrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils are kind to each other and bullying is not tolerated by either staff or pupils. Since the previous inspection, the school has continued to improve rapidly. Leaders' expectations are high. The school has a clear understanding of the barriers that some pupils face. They ensure that these do not prevent pupils from thriving at school. Following checks made recently by leaders, improvement plans to improve the quality of education are underway. They recognise that some areas of the curriculum, including the early years, can improve further. Pupils take on various roles and responsibilities across the school. These include being part of the chaplaincy team, and reading and sports leaders. Older pupils are proud to help younger children in the school. Pupils make a tangible contribution to school life through these roles. This contributes strongly to pupils' personal development.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is not used consistently to inform teaching. This means that sometimes pupils' misconceptions are not addressed. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment to inform their teaching and address any misconceptions that pupils have.
- Some activities and resources given to children in the early years do not reinforce the new knowledge that children have been taught. As a result, opportunities for children to practise and embed new knowledge and skills are missed. The school should ensure that the activities and resources children access independently give them the opportunity to practise and embed what they have been taught.
