What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
At St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, leaders aspire for all pupils to 'be the best they can be'. Parents, staff and pupils are all committed to this aim. Pupils rise to these high expectations, both academically and personally. One parent's comment was typical of many when they said, 'Staff work hard to ensure that pupils make good progress in all areas, are happy and well cared for.' The school is led well. Leaders ensure that the school's values underpin nearly all of their work. Leaders want every pupil to develop a lifelong love of learning. They also want pupils to understand how such learning will help them in later life. All pupils are encouraged to follow their interests and to develop leadership skills. They thrive on any opportunities and apply for roles such as student leader, as well as sharing their interests in 'passion projects'. Pupils are happy and feel safe at school. Parents and carers feel the same. Pupils have a trusted adult to who they can turn if they are worried about anything. Bullying is rare. Pupils have a clear understanding of what to do if it does happen. Any issues are dealt with quickly.
What the school should improve
- Some staff have not had sufficient training in the new phonics curriculum. This means that a minority of pupils do not develop their reading fluency and confidence as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that all staff are well trained in the implementation of the new phonics curriculum.
- In a minority of subjects, the curriculum has been recently revised and is at an early stage of implementation. At times, pupils' learning does not build on what they already know, and they do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that pupils' prior knowledge is considered before they move on to new learning.
