What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

St Gregory's Catholic Primary school is aspirational for all pupils. Pupils are happy and safe. Every day they 'create moments that become memories'. Staff care deeply and respond effectively to any worries or concerns pupils raise. Pupils are well-behaved in school. This is because there are clear and consistent expectations. Staff make sure that pupils know and follow the school rules. Pupils work hard and learn well in lessons. At social times, pupils chat with friends or take part in team sports activities. Staff deal with any poor behaviour or bullying quickly, and make sure it stops. Trips and visits allow pupils to think about what they have learned in different ways. These include a beach trip, a castle visit, science experiences and theatre visits. Residential experiences provide time for reflection and outdoor adventure. Clubs, including netball, coding, chess, sport and dance clubs, allow pupils to develop their talents and interests. Most parents are very positive about the school. One parent's comment was typical of many when they said: 'My children have thrived at this school over the past few years. The support is incredible and high-quality education is nothing but fantastic.'

What the school should improve

  • The new approach to the teaching of early reading is not yet fully embedded. A few staff are still developing their knowledge and expertise. As a result, there are some minor inconsistencies in the delivery of this programme. This means that not all pupils practice new sounds well enough before applying them in their writing. All staff should be trained and supported so there is a consistent approach to the teaching of early reading.
  • On occasion, pupils with identified SEND do not have their needs fully met early enough. This is because there is sometimes a delay in seeking the specialist help they would benefit from. The school should ensure that there is a clear school pathway to accelerate access to specialist support for these pupils.
