What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

St Anne's Catholic Primary is a welcoming and inclusive school. Pupils live up to the school's values stating, 'these will help get you further in life and not give up'. They are happy and enthusiastic ambassadors of their school. They demonstrate high levels of respect for each other and adults. Pupils meet the school's high expectations by behaving well and working hard. They conduct themselves exceptionally well in class. Pupils participate in lessons enthusiastically and want to do their best. They consistently act in a kind way towards each other. When moving around the school and during break times, pupils show great self-discipline. Pupils are supportive of each other, and proud to take on responsibilities such as peer mentoring. They enjoy contributing to school life and supporting wider community projects, including raising funds for causes that are important to them. Pupils' learning is enhanced by carefully planned visits, such as to the Milestone Museum and Watt Gallery. Every pupil is encouraged to pursue their interests and find their own talents in clubs such as Spanish, art and choir. Parents are effusive in their praise for the school. One summing up the views of many stated, 'children are encouraged to learn and flourish'.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, teaching does not identify and address misconceptions in pupils' knowledge. This leads to gaps in pupils' understanding. The school should ensure that pupils' understanding is checked consistently well across all subjects, so that any misconceptions can be addressed swiftly, and pupils are well supported in building their knowledge consistently over time.
