What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 October 2023

Pupils show respect. They are respectful to each other, to the adults who help them and to people who visit the school. This is because of the strong relationships that have formed between parents, pupils and the school. As a result, pupils attend well and behaviour in the school is good. Bullying in the school is rare. Parents and pupils say that this does not happen because the school would not tolerate it. Pupils feel safe in school and are taught about how to protect themselves online. The school is aspirational for every child. The school community is diverse, with many different languages, cultures and ethnicities represented. Pupils who speak English as an additional language receive effective support to access the school's curriculum. Achievement in the school is strong. By the end of Year 6, in most subjects, including English and mathematics, pupils are well equipped with the skills and knowledge that is needed to be successful in secondary school. Pupils talk about leadership opportunities with passion. They aspire to be reading and writing ambassadors because of the status this gives them in school. Adults in school enjoy developing pupils' character through the '50 things to do before you leave St Theresa's' initiative. This includes cooking on a campfire, making a den and visiting an art gallery. Pupils enjoy going on visits and residentials as they bring the curriculum to life. They said visiting a steelwork factory helped them understand more about their local area.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, key knowledge has not been fully identified. As a result, teachers are unclear about the curriculum end points, meaning that pupils do not achieve as well as they are capable of. The school should ensure that subject plans are refined, taking into account sequencing and implementation, to ensure that any gaps in knowledge are addressed and pupils obtain the necessary knowledge to allow them to access future learning.
