What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
St Andrew's Catholic Primary School is a calm, purposeful place in which pupils are happy, confident and love to learn. Pupils are safe and well cared for, trusting the adults who work with them to help them if they have any worries. There is a real sense of family and belonging at this school. Pupils thoroughly enjoy welcoming visitors to school and are proud to call it their own. The behaviour of pupils is a strength. Both in class and in the playground, they treat one another courteously. They are polite, considerate and respectful. They enjoy taking on roles to help other such as becoming playleaders, 'Gift Ambassadors' and Year 6 buddies for younger children. Pupils, including those in the early years, respond well to the high expectations that teachers have for their achievement. They display positive attitudes to learning, try their best and produce work of good quality. As the school motto states, the children live, love and learn together as 'Witnesses for Christ'.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is not yet fully embedded. This means that in a small number of subjects, pupils don't make the connections in their learning that they could. The school should ensure that the successful work done to embed learning in other subjects is used so that pupils are equally successful across the curriculum.
- Some parents, including some of those of pupils with SEND, do not feel that they informed about the work of the school as well as they need to be. This has led to some dissatisfaction and confusion. The school should ensure that parents of pupils at the school and are kept informed about changes being made and why.
