What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
Pupils at St Werburgh's thoroughly enjoy school and learning. They can all recite the school's motto of 'love to learn, love God, love one another'. They believe it is important and say love is the 'beating heart' of the school. Leaders and staff want the very best for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Relationships are strong across the whole school community. Parents are extremely supportive of the school. One parent's comment was typical of many when they said, 'this is a happy and welcoming school where parents are treated as part of the family'. Pupils get on well with one another. They know the school rules and think they are fair. They have confidence that adults and the pupil 'well-being champions' will help them if they have any problems including with friendships. The school provides a variety of experiences for pupils to develop their talents and interests. This is particularly the case with regard to sports and the creative arts. Pupils are particularly proud to become school, eco and sports councillors or head boy and head girl. Pupils work hard to earn these responsibilities.
What the school should improve
- The evaluation and monitoring of some subjects are still at an early stage of development. Subject leaders have carried out checks on their subjects but have not had a chance to act on what they have found in order to further improve pupils' learning. The school should ensure that subject leaders receive the support needed to carry out their roles effectively and bring about improvement in these subjects.
- Sometimes learning is not always adapted well enough for pupils with SEND in lessons. Consequently, these pupils do not always learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that support for pupils with SEND is closely matched to their needs to help them to learn consistently well in lessons.
