What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
St. Mary's Catholic Primary Voluntary Academy is a warm and welcoming school. Pupils, parents and staff are proud to be part of the school community. Positive relationships are at the heart of the school's approach to education. Pupils are polite and understand the importance of respect. Pupils feel happy and safe in school. Bullying rarely happens and, if it does, pupils know an adult will sort it out quickly. Leaders have a clear vision for the school. They understand the school's strengths and areas for improvement. Leaders are ambitious for what all pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils achieve well at this school. Leaders give pupils a wide range of experiences to help them develop, both academically and personally. Pupils get the opportunity to develop their confidence and resilience through different leadership positions, such as play leaders, chaplaincy leaders and the school council. Some pupils need to be better prepared for life in modern Britain. Although they know the importance of tolerance and respect, they have limited knowledge of people from other backgrounds.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not identify the most important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember. This means that pupils do not build a consistent depth of knowledge across all areas of the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that they specify the most important knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember across all areas of the curriculum.
- Some pupils do not have a secure knowledge of world religions, fundamental British values or how certain characteristics are protected by law. This means that these pupils are not as well prepared for life in modern Britain as their peers. Leaders need to ensure that the personal development curriculum addresses any gaps in pupils' knowledge, so that pupils are prepared well for life after school.
