What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 March 2024
Pupils thrive in this nurturing and supportive school. They are proud of attending St Mary's with its inclusive ethos and are kept safe here. Staff work in very close partnership with parents and carers and the wider community to provide a positive experience for all pupils. The school develops pupils' knowledge and confidence through a broad curriculum. Pupils achieve well in their learning, especially in English and mathematics. This is because the school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They listen attentively, are highly motivated and show respect and kindness towards adults and each other. From the early years onwards, pupils learn to identify their emotions and how to support others. The school develops pupils' independence and character. From early years, all pupils readily take on leadership responsibilities as prefects, by helping at breaktimes or through older pupils listening to their younger peers read. Pupils appreciate, and are encouraged to attend, the wide range of clubs designed to develop their talents and interests. These include chess, choir, art, curling, basketball and Spanish.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not used as precisely to check what pupils know and remember. As a result, errors and misconceptions in pupils' understanding are not identified and addressed swiftly. This means some pupils do not secure the knowledge they need to tackle more complex ideas later on. The school should ensure that pupils' understanding of important ideas is checked consistently across the curriculum.
