St Eugene de Mazenod Roman Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 October 2023

Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending this school. Leaders are determined that pupils become 'the best they can be'. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), respond very positively to the high expectations of their learning and behaviour. Consequently, they work hard and achieve exceptionally well across the curriculum. Leaders fully promote reading. Pupils love books and they enjoy talking about the way reading helps them to create pictures and ideas in their minds. Pupils also enjoy learning the wide range of subjects they study. For example, they get to know and understand a range of different artists through their work in art and design. The school provides extensive opportunities to promote pupils' character development. Pupils take on additional responsibilities, such as becoming a prayer leader. They are taught to challenge stereotypes and celebrate differences, for example pupils regularly hear from a range of visitors from different religious backgrounds. Staff and pupils have very positive relationships. Pupils trust staff to help them if they have any worries and, therefore, they feel safe. Staff have consistently high expectations of pupils' behaviour. As a result, pupils' behaviour is excellent, both in and out of lessons.
