What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
St Thomas More Catholic Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive school that puts children at the heart of all that it does. Relationships between pupils and staff across the school are warm and positive. Leaders value every member of the community as an individual. Pupils know whom to talk to if they are worried. As a result, pupils feel happy and safe. Pupils' behaviour is exceptional. Pupils and adults alike understand the expectations for behaviour. Pupils are respectful and polite as they move around the school. They say they are proud to attend St Thomas More. They have a positive attitude to the work they produce and are keen to share what has been learned. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The curriculum is ambitious for all, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are well supported by skilled staff who know them. This means that most pupils achieve well. The school provides a variety of clubs each term, including sports, choir and 'Rock Steady'. Pupils also run their own clubs, for example 'Rubik's Cube' and a language club. This means that pupils can share and learn languages spoken by other pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is relatively new, and teachers are not yet skilled at implementing it in a way that helps pupils learn and remember more key information. This means that, in some cases, pupils cannot demonstrate and recall previous learning when needed. The school should continue to ensure that all teachers are able to accurately implement the new curriculum in a way that helps pupils to embed new learning into their long-term memory across all subjects.
