What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 November 2022

St Bede's Catholic Primary School is a caring and safe place for pupils to learn. Leaders support pupils to fulfil their potential. Staff help pupils to follow the school 'golden rules' of 'listen with respect, act with kindness, speak with love, work together and always do our best'. Pupils are respectful and kind to each other in the playground. They listen to each other in lessons. Adults model and show children in Nursery Year how to take turns and be kind to each other. Pupils are proud of their achievements as well as their friends. The new leadership team has improved the behaviour in classrooms and in the playground. Leaders have worked with pupils to make playtimes active and enjoyable. Pupil playground leaders ensure that team games are well refereed. They create new and exciting games to include all pupils in playtime activities. Pupils have helped to plan 'playground zones' to guarantee that there is enough space to play safely. Incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils know that if they have any worries, they can talk to a trusted adult. Staff deal with concerns quickly. They keep parents informed about the welfare and achievements of pupils.

What the school should improve

  • In a few lessons, teachers are not nimble in responding to pupils' needs, and sometimes opportunities to deepen pupils' understanding are being missed. Leaders should ensure that training is in place to develop teachers' skills in the classroom to meet the demand of the new teaching and learning framework, and to help teachers to link their subject knowledge to that framework.
