What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary is a school where adults are ambitious for all pupils. They want pupils to achieve well at school. Pupils are warmly welcomed to school each morning. They are happy and safe. Every day, pupils try hard to live the school rule 'to be the person God wants you to be'. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the quality of education their children receive. High expectations are set for pupils' behaviour in school. Pupils meet these expectations. They are polite and kind to each other. Pupils are very well behaved during lessons and at social times. Classrooms are busy and industrious places where pupils engage well in their learning. Leaders deal with any incidents of poor behaviour or bullying swiftly and effectively, so that it stops. The 'Romero child charter' sets out key experiences for all pupils. Older pupils develop teamwork skills and enjoy time for reflection during residential experiences. A range of clubs and activities allow pupils to develop their talents and interests. These clubs include art, football and gymnastics. Trips and visits help pupils to deepen their knowledge of the curriculum. For instance, pupils enjoy visits to a chocolate factory, a Victorian museum and the seaside.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not fully coherently planned to build on pupils' prior learning. This means that pupils do not always securely build on their previous knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that the curriculum in these subjects is coherently planned so that pupils deepen their learning over time.
- The school has not fully developed a sharp focus on oracy for pupils in key stage 1. This means that pupils do not always have the skills to communicate effectively. The school should ensure that pupils have further opportunities to develop spoken language and confidence to communicate effectively.
