What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
Pupils are happy and joyful at St Mary's. The Christian core value of 'koinonia' knits everyone together. Leaders set a top-notch benchmark that pupils must rise to as only the very best is accepted. This starts with pupils' behaviour. Pupils see the good in everyone. Kindness is found everywhere, meaning that bullying does not occur. Pupils are safe and protected. Every part of school life excites pupils. Leaders go out of their way to develop each child personally. Leaders remove barriers so no child misses out. Pupils excel in performing arts and sport. They eagerly sign up for enrichment clubs. The school's facilities in acres of land are used to harness pupils' talents and interests. This includes an elite running track, sports courts and a swimming pool. Rock climbing, skating and fencing are also on the curriculum. Pupils have endless enjoyment in the two impressive central libraries that are brimming with books. Pupils' character is exemplary. They beam with pride when they demonstrate the noble qualities that leaders instil across the school. Pupils are 'challenged to contribute' in all they do. They love writing the 'chit-chat' newsletters and taking part in charity fundraising. Pupils are conscientious and work hard.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking is not precise enough around the component knowledge that all pupils must learn. This has an impact on how well pupils achieve the ambitious end points. Leaders need to adopt the same rigour they have with other subjects so that all content is broken down into appropriately sized steps.
