What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
There is a real sense of belonging to a caring community at St Augustine's. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They trust staff to look after them and resolve any concerns they may have. Parents and carers appreciate the rounded academic education their children receive. Pupils understand and respect the school's high expectations of behaviour. They want the school to be a welcoming and friendly place for everyone. Pupils from different year groups choose to play together at breaktime. They are kind and helpful to each other. Their behaviour is also excellent in lessons. Pupils are keen to learn and enjoy the many opportunities to discuss their learning with their 'talk partners'. They take pride in the work they produce and achieve good outcomes. Whether bringing in food for the harvest collection, talking to a visiting author or attending mass, everyday life in school is varied and interesting for pupils. They appreciate the many ways learning is brought to life through opportunities to meet with visiting experts. For example, they remember lots of important information that they learned when they video-called fictitious Vikings or handled artefacts from the Second World War.
What the school should improve
- Teachers are sometimes not as explicit as they could be in ensuring that pupils are clear about the key skills that they are learning. This affects their ability to assess what pupils can do successfully. The school should ensure that the delivery of the curriculum is implemented in a way that enables pupils to develop strong subject-specific skills to enhance their knowledge and understanding.
- Not all staff have the same level of expertise in implementing the school's new approach to the teaching of reading. This leads to some inconsistencies in the effective delivery of the reading curriculum. The school should ensure that all staff receive appropriate professional development to further strengthen the school's teaching of reading, particularly for older pupils.
