What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2023
Pupils enjoy attending Ss Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Primary School. They are polite and welcoming. Pupils describe the school as a place where everyone is kind and valued for who they are. Parents and carers speak highly of the school's inclusive approach and the care and attention that staff show to pupils. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and conduct. Pupils understand these expectations and respond to them well, both in and outside the classroom. This starts in the early years, where children listen to instructions, are respectful and behave well. Pupils feel safe. They value the positive relationships they have with staff. Pupils trust adults to help them with any worries they have or to resolve any disagreements. They say that bullying is rare and, if it were to happen, are confident that adults would deal with it quickly. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs that are on offer to them such as gymnastics, dance and choir. They value becoming playground leaders, members of the chaplaincy team and house representatives. Pupils say that these roles make them feel proud and responsible.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not made clear enough the precise content they want pupils to know and revisit. As a result, pupils do not build their knowledge securely. Leaders should identify the knowledge and concepts that pupils need to learn and to revisit in all subjects as they follow the curriculum.
