What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 June 2023
St John of Beverley Catholic Primary School is a caring and inclusive school where everyone is welcomed as part of 'God's family, to share, play and learn together'. Leaders at all levels are passionate about their school. There are high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Leaders pride themselves on developing positive, supportive relationships with pupils, staff and parents and carers. Pupils are happy, friendly and enjoy coming to school. They behave well and are respectful to others. Pupils value the rewards they receive for good behaviour, such as the kindness cup, house points and merits. Children in the Reception Year are thrilled to receive 'I love it' stickers for the work they produce independently. Pupils say that bullying used to happen, but it has not happened recently. They know that there are different types of bullying, such as verbal, physical and cyber- bullying. Pupils are confident that if bullying were to happen, the adults in school would listen to them and take it seriously. Pupils contribute positively to the life of the school. They take on leadership roles such as sports councillors, house captains and 'mini-Vinnies' (school council). Pupils enjoy these roles and take their responsibilities seriously. There is a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs and school trips, which pupils and parents value.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, such as geography, the sequencing of knowledge is not carefully mapped out. This means that some pupils do not reach the ambitious end points of the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that all subjects are carefully sequenced so that new knowledge and skills build on what has been taught previously.
- Some subject leaders do not have a strong overview of the curriculum in their subject. They are unable to make effective checks on how well the curriculum is being implemented and if pupils have remembered the intended curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that all subject leaders are well equipped to monitor their subject and have a clear oversight of how well pupils learn the intended curriculum.
