What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 May 2023
Leaders, including those responsible for governance, at St Anne's Catholic Primary School have high aspirations for all the pupils who attend here. Leaders have developed a broad and well-planned curriculum that is closely linked to the local area, so that pupils reach their potential. The school's ethos, 'working together; in faith, learning and love', is part of daily life for pupils. Pupils are proud to attend. They are enthusiastic about their learning and the friendships that they have. Learning is rarely interrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils say that bullying might happen here, but they are clear that adults are quick to help if problems arise. The relationships between pupils and staff are warm and caring. It is clear that staff in school know their pupils and families well. Parents and carers, staff and pupils are overwhelmingly positive about school. They would happily recommend it as a place to learn and work. Parents described the school as a 'fantastic school with a close-knit family feel'.
What the school should improve
- Pupils have a limited awareness of the faiths and cultures found in modern Britain. As a result, pupils are not fully supported in preparation for life beyond school. Leaders must develop and deepen pupils' knowledge and understanding of the faiths and cultures found in modern Britain.
- Some pupils with SEND do not attend school as regularly as their peers. As a result, these pupils are not making the progress they could. Leaders must continue to work with families of pupils with SEND to further improve their attendance.
