What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2023
Leaders are ambitious and want the best for each pupil. They have set high expectations to which pupils respond positively. Pupils like school and attend regularly. Pupils show a high level of respect towards staff. They say that teachers make learning fun. They understand that everyone is equal. St Joseph's Catholic Primary School is a friendly and inclusive community. Pupils are happy and feel safe in school. If there is any bullying, pupils trust staff to deal with it quickly. Parents and carers appreciate all that staff and leaders do for them and their children. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to those expectations by working hard and behaving well. Classrooms are calm and purposeful places of learning. The curriculum extends beyond the classroom. Pupils have opportunities to develop their independence, character and resilience. Pupils learn about their responsibilities to each other and to the wider world. For example, the eco-warriors organised and led a clothes swap for charity.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that all staff use formative assessment effectively to check what pupils have learned. This means that errors and misconceptions in pupils' work are not consistently identified and addressed. Leaders should ensure that all teachers use the assessment systems consistently to ensure that all misconceptions are addressed.
