What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils, staff, parents and carers are extremely proud of their school. St Luke's is a caring and happy place to be, where every person matters. The school places high emphasis on pupils showing endurance when things become difficult. As a result, pupils are motivated to do well. The school's curriculum enables pupils to achieve well. Pupils are enthusiastic about the help they receive with learning and their wider needs. They enjoy learning new things and are well supported to deepen their understanding of the subjects they study. Pupils understand the importance of including everybody. They learn the importance of celebrating differences and recognising that they are all unique. Performing at a diversity concert or being courageous advocates are just a few of the ways they learn about this. Pupils take pride in supporting those who need their help and raise lots of money for the charities they support. Pupils behave well. They enjoy warm relationships with staff and each other. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe and have a deep understanding of the risks they may face online. They find school exciting. Trips, residential visits and visitors bring their learning to life.

What the school should improve

  • The school's new approach to early writing needs to be embedded and delivered consistently. This means that some pupils are not being supported to form letters, spell, and write sentences at an age-appropriate level across the curriculum. The school should ensure that the expected approaches for writing are applied so that pupils develop their writing skills securely in line with age-related expectations.
  • The school's work to develop the language and communication skills of pupils at the initial stages of understanding and speaking English is not impacting as intended. Some pupils require more support to be able to talk about their learning in a meaningful way before they complete activities. The school should further develop its approaches to oracy and ensure that they are consistently applied to all pupils.
