What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 February 2025

Pupils enjoy coming to this warm, friendly school. They look forward to the new learning that each day brings. They express this with pride in their self-written school song: 'Every day is special, here at St Anthony's!' Pupils say that being part of this school feels like belonging to a community. They feel supported and are taken care of well by staff. Pupils feel safe at this school, knowing that there are systems in place to support them if they have any problems. They are confident that they can approach staff in school if they have any concerns. The school's vision for its pupils is to 'promote high achievement and mutual respect'. Pupils respond well to these high expectations. They work hard in lessons. Pupils typically learn and achieve well across the curriculum. They are prepared effectively for the next stage in their education. The school has a strong culture of securing high standards of behaviour. This is reinforced through the school's values of faith, love and resilience. Pupils behave well, in and out of lessons. They show positive attitudes to learning, follow clear routines and respond well to staff. They are kind and respectful. Pupils learn about healthy lifestyles. They participate in workshops about staying active, for example. They also work with the school's caterer to promote balanced eating habits.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, pupils' misconceptions are not identified and addressed quickly. When this happens, pupils do not acquire a deep understanding of what they are learning. The school should ensure that teaching checks pupils' understanding and promptly addresses misconceptions.
  • In a few instances, the work given to pupils does not fully match the intended learning outcome. This leaves gaps in pupils' understanding. The school should ensure that learning activities consistently align with intended learning outcomes so that pupils develop a secure and coherent understanding in each subject.
