What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Pupils are happy and safe at St Teresa's. The school's values of trust, appreciation, respect, honesty and love are at the heart of this community. Pupils describe school as friendly and caring. Pupils have high expectations of themselves and others. They consistently rise to these high standards. Leaders are ambitious for pupils to succeed. The curriculum has been carefully designed in response to what pupils need to learn. Behaviour and attitudes to learning are strong. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. A broad range of opportunities and experiences are provided that enrich the curriculum. For example, pupils complete a finance challenge as part of learning about money in mathematics. Additional activities, such as karate, boxing and French, develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils are proud to represent their school. For example, members of the choir have had the opportunity to sing at Wembley Arena. Pupils readily take on additional responsibilities, such as being an elected member of the school council and organising fundraising for different charities. Pupils take pride in their school community. This includes taking it in turns to complete litter picking around the site.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, assessment is not used as effectively to check that pupils have secured the most important knowledge they need. This means that pupils' understanding in these areas is not as secure. The school should ensure that assessment is used to check pupils know and remember the most important ideas across the curriculum. This will better help staff to identify and address any misconceptions pupils may have.
