What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 January 2024
St Mary's is a warm and friendly school where pupils enjoy their learning and feel safe and supported. There is a strong sense of community among pupils and staff. Pupils learn to embody the school values of perseverance, respect, generosity and friendship in their daily lives. As one pupil explained, 'When faced with challenges, we always persevere to overcome them.' The school is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy the learning that teachers provide and achieve well. School parliament provides many opportunities for pupils to have a say in key decisions. Pupils take pride in these roles and feel their views are valued. Pupils are polite to adults and each other. They behave well and are eager to learn. They have a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe, especially on the internet. They know how to report any concerns they may have while online. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. One parent, typical of many, said, 'This is a wonderful warm and caring school. The staff are kind, nurturing and always approachable.'
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not use assessment information well enough in lessons to spot gaps or misconceptions in pupils' learning. In some lessons, pupils wait for too long before the teachers move them on to the next stage of their learning. This means that pupils do not build on their knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure that all teachers consistently identify and promptly address pupils' misconceptions and gaps.
- The school does not consistently check that staff deliver the curriculum in the way it is intended. This means that pupils are sometimes given work that is not well matched to the intended learning outcome. Leaders should ensure that the delivery of the curriculum is aligned to its intended aims and has the desired impact on pupils' achievement.
