What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
St Margaret's is a warm and welcoming place. Pupils enjoy their learning and are happy to come to school. They feel safe and are kept safe here. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can do and achieve. Leaders have thought carefully about the knowledge they want pupils to learn across a range of subjects. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) follow the same curriculum and receive extra help when they need it. Pupils have positive attitudes to their learning. They are keen to contribute ideas in lessons. The school is a calm and orderly place. Most pupils behave well, and leaders act swiftly if behaviour falls below expectations. Bullying is rare. If it happens, pupils are confident that staff will take action to deal with it. Pupils are clear about why the school's values are important. They are confident to explain examples of these, such as courage, creativity, hope and friendship. Pupils are respectful towards each other and enjoy taking on responsibilities, such as acting as 'playground buddies'. Parents say that leaders at the school are approachable. Most are very positive about their child's experience at the school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have developed an ambitious and challenging curriculum, which is well planned and sequenced. However, it is not firmly embedded across all subjects. In a few subjects, teachers are not implementing the intended content consistently. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is embedded securely and that staff have the training and support they need to deliver it confidently.
