What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

There is a culture of high expectations and care at St Giles Catholic Primary School. Pupils flourish. Leaders, staff, and parents and carers share the motto of 'better together'. Pupils excel educationally, personally and socially. One parent's comment, typical of many, was that 'the school encourages my child to be his best self.' Pupils live up to the staff's high expectations of learning and behaviour. They behave exceptionally well. Underpinning all of this is the school's Catholic values. Pupils believe that these are important and say that 'we need these to live a good life.' They learn about many different cultures and beliefs and are highly tolerant and respectful. There is a wealth of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils working with staff have requested and developed some of these opportunities, including a laser tag and chess club. Individual pupils' talents are also celebrated. The school supports parents well in finding specialist providers, such as the Royal Ballet, to develop these further. Older pupils value the leadership roles they are given in school. They apply for and are voted for by their peers to be school councillors, house captains and sports leaders. They take these roles seriously.
