What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2022
Pupils are proud to attend St Patrick's Catholic Primary School. The school community has its foundations in the values of the Catholic faith. The school's motto', 'Live, Love and Learn Like Jesus,' guides pupils every day. Leaders have established an environment where pupils feel listened to and valued. Pupils enjoy learning and want to do well. They are safe and happy at school. Adults' expectations of pupils' behaviour are high. Pupils follow the rules for good conduct around the school. Pupils work hard in lessons. Low-level disruption is rare. Breaktimes are happy and enjoyable. Bullying is rare. Pupils know that if it happens, adults will sort it out quickly. Leaders provide strong pastoral care. Pupils develop interests outside the classroom. These include extra-curricular sports, rock and pop band music lessons, and team activities. Pupils enjoy leadership responsibilities in the Chaplaincy, school council and as school captains. For example, pupils enjoy the Footsteps in Faith challenge and exchanging house points for money to help local charities. Parents, including those new to the school, appreciate the support and commitment leaders provide. One parent said, 'The school is a wonderful, happy environment and my children are thriving.'
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders are still developing the curriculum. Pupils do not build on the knowledge they already know to enable them to remember more. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum in all subjects sets out the knowledge that pupils need to be taught and that teachers then help pupils to build on that knowledge.
- Leaders' systems to assess how well pupils learn in some of the wider curriculum subjects are at an early stage. Not all subject leaders have a detailed enough understanding of how well pupils are learning the curriculum. Leaders should support subject leaders to evaluate, through effective use of assessment, the impact the curriculum is having on pupils' learning.
