What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
St George and St Martin's Catholic Academy is a happy, vibrant place where everyone is welcomed and no one is left out. Pupils, and children in the early years, form strong, positive bonds with each other and with staff. Staff care for them well. This helps pupils to feel safe and part of the warm, nurturing school community. Older pupils are excellent role models. They are proud to be reading 'buddies' and playleaders for their younger friends. They recognise that these roles prepare them well to be responsible citizens in the future. The school is ambitious for its pupils. Most pupils achieve well across a broad range of subjects. Pupils talk with confidence about what they are learning. Older pupils have impressive recall of knowledge they learned in previous years. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils are supported to live up to these expectations by following the school's values and virtues. These include being 'grateful and generous' or 'learned and wise'. As a result, pupils behave very well. They listen and concentrate for extended periods in lessons. Pupils are sensible, respectful and well-mannered. Parents hold the school in high regard.
What the school should improve
- At times, some activities do not help pupils to develop a secure knowledge of the subjects that they study. This prevents some pupils from achieving as well as they could. The school should ensure that it supports staff to design learning activities that help pupils to know more and remember more across the curriculum.
