What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
There is a positive and respectful culture at St Teresa's Catholic Primary School. Pupils of all ages offer visitors a warm and courteous welcome. They understand how the school's values help them to be kind, thankful and forgiving. Parents talk positively about how the school 'strives for excellence' and the 'family feel' that exists. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils are polite and well- mannered. They understand the school rules and most follow them well. The behaviour of children in the early years is exceptional. Children show high levels of self-control and care towards one another. They are eager to learn. As a result, children get off to a strong start. Pupils feel safe. They understand how their 'toolkits' help them to recognise and control their emotions. Relationships are strong between adults and pupils. Pupils trust staff to listen and help them when they have worries or concerns. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of clubs such as netball and basketball. They value their roles as house captains, school councillors and members of the chaplaincy team. Pupils say these roles develop their leadership skills, enable them to work as a team and help others.
What the school should improve
- Some staff do not yet have the subject knowledge they need to teach the curriculum well in some subjects. This means that pupils do not gain the depth of knowledge they should in some subjects. The trust must continue to develop staff so that they have the expertise to teach all areas of the curriculum effectively.
