What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 May 2024
Staff at St Agatha's put everyone's well-being at the heart of the school. Pupils feel happy and are kept safe because of the warm and welcoming environment. Pupils know that they can rely on caring staff to help them with any problems that may arise. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. Pupils are kind to each other, and rare incidents of bullying are dealt with swiftly. This is because expectations are high and consistently applied. Parents and carers are very positive about the education provided for their children. The school has high ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well, including in national assessments. This is because, in most subjects, there is a broad and exciting curriculum which typically prepares them well for the next stage of their education. Pupils with SEND are well supported to access the curriculum alongside their peers. Pupils demonstrate positive attitudes to their learning. They ask insightful questions confidently, showing curiosity and interest. Pupils enjoy a wide range of additional activities, including sports competitions and concerts. Many pupils take on positions of responsibility, such as being members of the school council. They are proud of the work they have done to improve the school, which, most recently, includes helping to design the planned outdoor classroom.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, the sounds pupils need to read with accuracy and fluency are not modelled with precision. This means that some pupils do not secure the knowledge they need to tackle more-complex sounds and blends later on. The school should provide further training to ensure the agreed phonics programme is implemented with accuracy.
- In a few subjects, the curriculum does not build as sequentially. This means that some pupils do not consistently secure the knowledge they need before tackling more- complex concepts. As a result, pupils do not secure as deep a knowledge in these subjects. The school must ensure each subject is coherently designed and sequenced to build pupils' knowledge and skills over time.
