What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
St Mary's Catholic Primary School is friendly and inclusive. The school's values underpin all aspects of school life. Pupils show respect for people's differences and celebrate each other as unique individuals. Adults know the pupils and families well. Parents appreciate the warm and supportive atmosphere that allows pupils to grow. Relationships are respectful. Pupils are confident to share any worries because they know that adults will help them. The school has high expectations of all pupils. Most pupils respond well to this and strive to meet these expectations. Pupils work hard during lesson time and are keen to contribute their ideas. This begins in Reception Year where children are curious about the world around them. Older pupils listen carefully and cooperate with their peers. This creates a positive learning environment where pupils succeed. Pupils enjoy the opportunities the school provides to develop leadership responsibilities. They are proud to be representatives of the school council and chaplaincy team. Visitors to the school talk to pupils about topical issues. They know they can make a difference to those who are less fortunate, for example through links with the church community and the 'Mini Vinnies' charity.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects in the wider curriculum, the school has not made clear the precise content they want pupils to know and remember. As a result, pupils do not build their knowledge securely. The school should identify the important knowledge and concepts that pupils need to learn and remember so they build knowledge well over time.
- Assessment in some foundation subjects is not used well enough to check that pupils have remembered what they have been taught. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school needs to ensure that assessment is used effectively across all subjects and informs future curriculum design.
