What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 September 2023
St Mary's provides a caring and nurturing environment for all of its pupils. Pupils feel happy and safe. They enjoy coming to school. The school's commitment to inclusion underpins the ethos of the school. There are high expectations from staff that all pupils will achieve well and succeed. Relationships between adults and pupils at the school are extremely positive. There is a mutual understanding of respect for one another. As a result, pupils behave well. There is a calm and purposeful atmosphere in classrooms. Pupils' behaviour, both when learning in lessons and at less-structured times, is representative of the school's values. These are woven throughout school life at St Mary's. Pupils know these values well. They speak passionately and confidently to visitors about what it means to show respect, hope, wisdom, friendship, trust and perseverance. The personal development of pupils is a strength of the school. The school ensures that there is a rich set of additional opportunities and experiences on offer for pupils. Through roles such as ambassadors, pupils take an active part in school life. Pupils at St Mary's have a voice and are listened to attentively. They relish these opportunities to be heard and enjoy making their school even better.
What the school should improve
- In some wider curriculum subject areas, such as geography and art and design, the school does not consistently provide pupils with work that matches the intended curriculum. As a result, pupils do not achieve the intended learning as a matter of course. The school should ensure that learning opportunities are provided for pupils that clearly match the knowledge that they want pupils to learn, across all wider subject areas.
