What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 March 2023
St Chad's Catholic Primary is a school where all pupils are welcomed with open arms. Relationships between staff and pupils are highly positive. Staff are kind. Pupils are well cared for and nurtured. Pupils feel safe and happy here. Pupils care about their school and want to do well. They know that staff have high aspirations for them. The local governing body and trustees also have high expectations. Bullying rarely happens. When it does, staff make sure that it stops. The work of leaders makes a big difference to families. Staff go above and beyond in welcoming families into school. They make sure that families receive plenty of support to help them stay safe and well. For example, staff organise a weekly food and clothing bank for families. All pupils can attend a free breakfast club and after- school club every day. Families appreciate the support that the school provides. Pupils, parents and carers, and staff praise the school and its leadership. Some pupils start school at different times in the school year and many are new to the country. Staff make sure that pupils settle in quickly and feel happy and secure. The curriculum is broad, but some subjects are not organised as well as they could be.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is not organised as well as it could be. Leaders have not thought carefully enough about how pupils build up knowledge and skills in a logical progression. Consequently, pupils do not learn all that they should. Leaders should ensure that they identify what they want pupils to know and then sequence learning in all subjects so that pupils' knowledge builds progressively.
