What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 March 2024

Pupils and staff are proud to be members of this school. Together, they ensure that the school's Catholic values of generosity, compassion and curiosity shine through everything they do. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well in their academic studies and personal lives. Pupils enjoy learning and spending time with their friends. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education by the time they leave the school in Year 6. Relationships between adults and pupils are a strength of the school. Pupils feel safe and well cared for. They are confident that staff would help them with any worries they have. Pupils behave well and show respect for adults and each other. The atmosphere at the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils are keen to take on positions of responsibility. This includes some being members of the school council, liturgy leaders or subject ambassadors. Pupils feel listened to and say that their ideas are taken seriously. Pupils also enjoy opportunities to join sports clubs and take part in many sporting competitions with other schools. Parents and carers express very positive opinions of the school. They appreciate the opportunities that the school provides their children.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment information well enough. Sometimes the tasks they set do not match pupils' knowledge or needs. This means that some pupils do not make as much progress through the curriculum as leaders expect. The school should further develop the way that assessment information is used to inform teaching.
