What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 June 2025
Through the nurturing and supportive atmosphere in school, pupils at St Patrick's Catholic Primary thrive. They are happy and valued as individuals in the school family. Pupils clearly understand the school's approach to behaviour, 'The St Patrick's Way'. They show respect for all. The relationships that pupils develop with staff are very positive. Pupils are kept safe by these well trained and vigilant staff. The school has established high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils strive to match these expectations. They get the support they need to succeed and achieve well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve exceptionally well. Behaviour in school is excellent. Pupils of all ages focus well during lessons and play in harmony during their break times. Staff encourage and support pupils to develop exemplary attitudes towards others. Pupils understand why it is 'important not to discriminate against anyone'. Their attitudes contribute significantly to a highly inclusive environment in school. Parents and carers are unanimously supportive of the school. Positive comments, such as staff being 'huge advocates for SEND' and of the school 'working in partnership' with parents, are common. Parents also comment favourably on the 'emotional and educational development' of their children. These responses reflect the findings of the inspection team.
What the school should improve
- There are a small number of aspects of the curriculum, including more opportunities for fieldwork, that could be improved to further enhance the quality of education. As a consequence, pupils do not achieve as highly as they could in these aspects. Leaders should implement their planned refinements and ensure that they impact positively on pupils' work and outcomes.
