What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2023
St Luke's is a caring and welcoming school where pupils are happy and safe. Leaders and staff know their pupils well. Pupils are confident to talk to any adult in school if they have any worries. Teachers ensure that pupils behave well and work hard in lessons. Leaders are determined for all pupils to be ready and respectful. Across the school, pupils and staff treat each other with warmth. Pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 can volunteer their time to be 'playground angels'. They take this responsibility very seriously, looking after the younger pupils during their playtimes. On rare occasions when bullying occurs, leaders and staff deal with it swiftly and effectively. Leaders encourage pupils to take on responsibilities across the school. For example, pupils vote for their head boy and head girl. They also take on roles as prefects. Staff encourage pupils to develop their confidence. For instance, pupils represent the school by showing prospective parents around or by presenting to governors.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teachers do not ensure that pupils have secured the knowledge necessary for them to understand new ideas. This limits pupils' deeper subject-specific understanding. The school should ensure that teaching checks pupils' knowledge and skills effectively and addresses any gaps or misconceptions so that pupils are fully ready to learn future content.
