What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
The school provides exceptional levels of care to its pupils. Pupils are treated with warmth and kindness. They are greeted each morning by friendly smiles from their teachers. Pupils love their school and are proud to be a member of the 'St Patrick's family'. Pupils are happy and safe and thrive in this nurturing environment. Pupils embody the school's high expectations for behaviour. They have excellent attitudes to their learning. Pupils get along with each other incredibly well. They play nicely together during social times and rarely fall out. The school acts quickly to immediately address any bullying concerns that pupils might have. The school is ambitious for what pupils should learn. In subjects such as reading, writing and mathematics, pupils typically achieve well by the time that they leave the school. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils consistently benefit from the range of additional opportunities available to them. Clubs are plentiful and well attended. Pupils experience well-thought-out trips that bring their learning to life. Pupils were particularly excited to tell inspectors about their recent musical performances, including one linked to an international televised song contest. They regularly engage in charitable work to support their chosen causes.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, pupils undertake learning activities that do not help them to develop their knowledge of some fundamental concepts. This means that pupils' knowledge is not as strong as it could be in some curriculum areas. The school should provide more robust curriculum guidance in these subjects to help teachers design activities that help pupils to build a rich body of knowledge over time.
