What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
Pupils and staff 'live, love and learn' together at St Margaret Mary, where every child is welcomed and nurtured. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils' achievement. Pupils are fully involved in school life and achieve well, whatever barriers some may face. They are happy, enjoy coming to school each morning and attend well. The school is calm and orderly. Pupils behave well because they know exactly what staff expect of them. They know when and how to seek help. Pupils trust staff to take them seriously and to sort out any problems if they arise. This helps them to feel safe and cared for. The school puts pupils' personal development at the front and centre of its work. This promotes pupils' understanding of their local, national and global community. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of clubs and activities, which include a school choir. They develop a strong sense of responsibility through taking on leadership roles in the school council and parliament. Pupils say these roles give them a strong sense of responsibility.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment well enough to recognise what pupils can do and understand. This means that pupils either move on to new learning before they are ready or do not have the opportunities to deepen their understanding further. The school needs to ensure that teachers use assessment effectively across all subjects and use this information to inform future learning.
- Leadership in some subjects is at an early stage of development. Leaders do not have a sufficiently clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses in their subjects and in what they need to do to support staff to implement the curriculum more effectively. The school must ensure that it develops expertise in subject leadership so that teachers are supported to implement the curriculum effectively.
