What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

This is a happy and nurturing school. In line with the school's values, all staff are committed to helping pupils to experience the joy of learning and the possibilities that education can bring. There is a strong sense of community, rooted in the school's Christian ethos. Parents and carers speak very highly of the care that staff provide. This supports pupils to thrive both socially and academically. Pupils make excellent progress and achieve highly, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils love learning at Saint Francis. They are kind to each other and treat their peers, and staff, with courtesy and respect. Pupils know they are safe here. They behave very well in lessons and around the school. They take pride in their achievements. The school offers a broad range of opportunities and experiences for pupils to extend their learning and develop their talents and interests. Through the ambitious music programme, pupils have many opportunities to perform, including at the Royal Albert Hall, and the annual 'four choirs' concert. Pupils experience the rich history of the local area through visits to key sites and monuments. Pupils look forward to their Year 6 residential trip and enjoy ongoing visits from authors, historians, and artists.
