St George's Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2023

St George's pupils enjoy school. They like to socialise with their friends during breakfast club. Pupils also like to share their ideas and learn new things. They are polite, respectful and welcoming to visitors. Pupils are happy and safe at school. They know that they can speak with any member of staff if something is worrying them. Leaders make sure that any incidents of bullying are dealt with swiftly. Pupils understand British values, including those of tolerance and individual liberty. They are passionate about the environment. They recently planted trees as part of the Queen's Green Canopy initiative. Pupils are active citizens. They share their views in different ways, including through the eco-council. Pupils like to sing in the community. They raise money for different good causes, including food banks and shoebox appeals. Pupils engage in sports and playing musical instruments. They often visit museums and local places of interest, such as an aquarium. Pupils respond well to leaders' high expectations of their behaviour and achievement. This helps to ensure that most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in a wide range of subjects. Children in the early years also learn well.

What the school should improve

• Leaders do not promote some aspects of pupils' personal development as well as they should. As a result, some pupils do not have enough opportunities to develop further their talents and pursue their interests. Leaders should ensure that they encourage these pupils to participate in a broader range of experiences.
