What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
St Teresa serves a community which is richly diverse, with families from many faiths and backgrounds. Leaders have created a warm and welcoming school, where difference is celebrated and where everyone can thrive. Pupils love to learn and enjoy attending school. Pupils' behaviour is very positive. There are positive relationships between pupils and staff. When they join in the early years, children are supported to make a smooth transition into school. This includes inviting families into school and visiting pupils in their homes. The school also welcomes pupils at different points in the school year. Whenever pupils join, the staff go the extra mile to help them to feel part of this school. The school offers very many clubs to all pupils. These are attended well by all pupils. These include crafts, sports and academic classes. Pupils appreciate the opportunities to enhance their learning outside of school. For example, they particularly enjoy going to the local theatre to see performances of the books they are reading. There are many opportunities for pupils to fundraise and help people in the local community. The school's ethos of 'Pray together, Aspire Together, Achieve Together' resonates through school life. This helps to prepare pupils to play an active role in society.
What the school should improve
- The school has not monitored the implementation or impact of a few subjects well enough. As a result, some pupils do not retain the subject-specific knowledge they need to do well. The school should ensure that subject leaders develop expertise so they are able to monitor the quality and delivery of their subject across the school.
- In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment well enough to check that pupils have understood what has been taught. This means that misconceptions are not always identified or addressed as quickly as they should be. The school needs to ensure that all teachers use assessment consistently well to check pupils' understanding and adapt their teaching so that all pupils can gain and retain new knowledge.
