What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
A strong, inclusive ethos is at the heart of St Michael's. Pupils provide a warm welcome to visitors. Many new parents and carers spoke of the welcome they received. The school sets high expectations for behaviour, and pupils respond positively to these expectations. Pupils treat each other with consideration. They readily share in lessons and play together well on the playground. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful. Most parents speak highly of staff, with some describing them as going 'the extra mile' to sort out any issues for their children. Pupils feel safe in school and know whom to talk to if they have concerns. There are high expectations for the achievement of all pupils. These expectations, together with the recent improvements to the curriculum, ensure that pupils continue to achieve well. The school communicates to parents the importance of pupils' regular attendance. A consultation with the school council ensured pupils understood and appreciated the attendance rewards. This has led to good attendance, which the school is determined to maintain.
What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that all children in the early years engage with, and therefore learn from, the full range of planned experiences. This means some children do not fully develop their social, emotional and academic knowledge and skills as intended. The school should ensure that teachers create a learning environment where children benefit from the planned curriculum to support their good development. And
- Teachers do not consistently provide pupils with the information needed to improve their work. This is especially the case for writing, where pupils are not gaining the editing skills to develop their writing further. The school should ensure that pupils know how to improve their work and respond to teachers' feedback, particularly concerning their writing.
