What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 April 2022
Pupils, and their parents and carers, would readily recommend St Peter's Catholic Primary School to others. A sizeable number of pupils have joined the school in recent months. Many of these pupils have not settled in other schools. Several are pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). These pupils are warmly welcomed into the school community. They said that they feel safe and happy in school. Other pupils who spoke to inspectors share the same views. Pupils know how leaders expect them to behave. Children in the early years quickly settle into school routines. They listen attentively to adults and to each other. Older pupils are respectful. They genuinely want to please staff. Pupils follow the school rules and behave well. Pupils said that they enjoy taking part in team games and sports at playtimes. Pupils are confident that bullying is dealt with swiftly and effectively by staff. They trust the adults in school to take care of them and to help them resolve any difficulties. Leaders have improved the curriculum. They have raised their expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils achieve well across a range of subjects.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not finalised the key content that pupils need to know in a small number of subjects. This sometimes prevents teachers from building pupils' learning effectively within and across lessons. Pupils' learning is less secure in these subjects as a result. Leaders should refine their curricular thinking in these remaining subjects so that teachers know exactly which key knowledge pupils should learn and the order in which this should be taught.
