What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 December 2022
The classroom code displayed in each class goes a long way to describing pupils in St Mary's. Pupils 'dream big, respect everyone's uniqueness, show kindness and work hard'. They explain about the friendliness of the school and how they 'help people who find it tough'. This is a friendly and happy school where everyone is welcome. Nearly all parents support and think highly of the school and the staff. Pupils say teachers expect them to work hard, so they do. Teachers are fair and treat pupils with respect. Pupils are aspirational to secure a successful career. Visits from professionals such as doctors and microbiologists inspire pupils to try their hardest in class. Pupils feel safe and trust adults to keep them safe. Pupils learn how to deal with anxiety to stay mentally healthy. They have detailed knowledge on staying safe online. Behaviour is good in school. Pupils trust staff to sort out any poor behaviour, including bullying. Bullying rarely happens. Pupils aspire to a role of responsibility to help the school day run smoothly. These roles include the house captains, school councillors or sports leaders. Pupils speak highly of the available activities outside. Favourites are the cycle track, the outdoor gym, the obstacle course or the multi-use games area.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that pupils need to know and how pupils should demonstrate this at the end of each unit. Teachers are not clear on what pupils should remember, and some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Leaders need to define more precisely the knowledge that pupils need to retain in each subject and ensure teachers are teaching and assessing using this .
