What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 June 2022
St Vincent's is an inclusive academy. It regularly welcomes families who are new to the country into its setting. Parents and staff who completed Ofsted's questionnaires describe the academy as having a 'family feel'. Pupils say everyone is treated equally and fairly. Pupils are well-behaved in lessons and at lunchtime. There is a clear behaviour policy that pupils can explain. They think it is fair because the first warning adults give offers them time to change their behaviour. Pupils can define bullying and say that if they tell a teacher, they speak to the alleged bully. There is a calm and purposeful start to the day for the pupils who join breakfast club. The academy has strong parish links. Members of the parish volunteer and support the academy with charity work, special events and Holy Communion preparation. However, leaders recognise that because of their diverse community, pupils of all faiths attend the academy. Some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) spend some of the day in the 'hub' to support their learning needs. Pupils use visual timetables, have positive relationships and individual workstations. They behave well, are safe and engage in personalised work. Adults recognise that pupils with SEND have additional vulnerabilities, and use different approaches to ensure they can communicate their needs.
What the school should improve
- Some younger pupils' letter placement is not accurate. Pupils are not placing ascenders above and descenders below the spaced horizontal lines in their books. This means their handwriting is not accurately presented. Teachers should routinely check presentation. This will help pupils make rapid improvement to correctly present letters.
- Pupils found it difficult to talk with confidence about British values. Leaders should review their curriculum to ensure it includes more lessons about British values. This will help to prepare pupils more effectively for life in Britain.
