What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 June 2022

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They said that they are grateful to be a part of the 'St Mary's family'. They feel happy and safe. Pupils are excited by the many activities on offer, both in and out of the classroom. They interact with adults and other pupils with warmth and confidence. Adults have high expectations of pupils. They help pupils to differentiate between right and wrong. Across the school, pupils are supported to make the correct choices in their behaviour. Their polite, kind, and respectful behaviour towards adults and each other is the norm. Bullying is unusual, but if it happens staff spot it and sort things out swiftly. Staff are ambitious for pupils. Pupils relish the challenge they receive from teachers. Across the school, pupils use the '4Bs', for example 'buddies' and 'brain', to help them when they face difficulties in lessons. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education. Leaders create many opportunities for pupils to develop their leadership skills. Each year, Year 5 pupils assume the responsibility of running the sports day for the early years. The elected school council representatives also consult with pupils and the catering staff when making suggestions for the lunch menu.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, sometimes pupils' mistakes are not identified and addressed in a timely manner. This means that misconceptions continue. Teachers should ensure that pupils' misconceptions are identified and addressed so that pupils' understanding is secure.
  • Occasionally, some of the younger pupils receive books which are too hard for them to read. This reduces the development of pupils' reading fluency. Leaders need to make sure that teachers consistently give these pupils books which are suitable to develop reading fluency and confidence.
