What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 May 2023

The 'Holy Spirit' ethos and the need to 'Be kind, be calm, be ready' are at the heart of St Thomas More Catholic School and Sixth Form College. This ethos allows pupils to develop resilience, self-confidence and an awareness of the needs of others. Leaders and staff provide pupils with a supportive and caring environment. There is a climate of respect, challenge and celebration. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They are proud of their school. There is a positive working atmosphere around the school. All staff have high expectations for pupils. Leaders have developed an ambitious curriculum, which allows pupils to study a range of different subjects. Pupils have access to various extra-curricular activities. These include a creative writing club, sports clubs and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. Pupils feel valued and that their opinions can make a difference in the school. Pupils say that staff know them well and care about them as individuals. There are high expectations for pupils' behaviour. This means that lessons are positive and purposeful, and that behaviour is calm around school. Pupils feel safe in school. They are confident that if bullying happens, staff will deal with it quickly and effectively.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have recently introduced new initiatives and provided training to help teachers support pupils with specific special educational needs. However, these plans are not fully established in all subjects. As a result, the work of pupils with SEND across the curriculum is not yet consistently of a high quality. Leaders need to ensure that support plans are embedded effectively so that all pupils with SEND achieve successfully and in line with their abilities.
