What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
As you enter St Christopher's Catholic Primary School, smiles and happy faces welcome you. Pupils feel safe and trust all the adults in school. They know staff want them to achieve their very best and they try their utmost to do so. The school has high expectations for its pupils. By the time pupils leave the school at the end of Year 6, they have achieved well, ready for the next stage of their education. The school motto is 'Love one another'. Pupils and adults show this in their words and actions. Parents and carers value the love and care shown by the whole school family. Pupils have excellent manners. Relationships are strong. Pupils help each other and spread that help across the wider community. Pupils' attendance at school is excellent because they love school and enjoy learning. Pupils behave well both in class and at breaktimes. They listen extremely well in lessons and to each other when discussing events they want to organise, or charities they want to support. Pupils play happily together, boys with girls, younger pupils alongside their older school friends.
What the school should improve
- The school does not consistently ensure that pupils' handwriting is well formed and work is presented to a high standard. As a result, sometimes pupils do not present work that shows how well they have understood and remembered their learning. The school should ensure that pupils consistently meet its expectations of handwriting and presentation.
- In some lessons, the way the curriculum is implemented does not ensure pupils build on the knowledge and skills they have developed. This means that some pupils do not achieve as well as they might. The school should ensure that all lessons are well implemented so that pupils learn the intended curriculum and build knowledge over time.
