What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 July 2022
Pupils are proud to attend St Wilfrid's Catholic Primary School. They flourish in the highly inclusive ethos. Pupils know and understand the school's well-established values of faith, aspiration, effort and respect. Pupils firmly believe that everybody matters; indeed, all are welcomed and treated with equity. Pupils enjoy the company of one another and build trusting relationships with adults. Leaders set clear expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils conduct themselves well in and around school. They are clear about the rules that are set to keep them safe. Pupils understand what bullying is. They are confident that if it were to happen, staff would sort it out quickly. Instances of bullying are always taken seriously. Leaders' records show that pupils' confidence in staff is well placed. Leaders provide strong pastoral care. Pupils know that they can talk to a trusted adult or use the 'talk box' if they have a problem. Pupils have a range of opportunities to develop their interests outside the classroom. This includes extra-curricular sports and singing in local and national music festivals. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership responsibilities. They are proud to become liturgy leaders. They eagerly represent their classmates in the school's parliament.
What the school should improve
- Behaviour across the school is inconsistent. This is because not all staff are applying the expectations as agreed with leaders at whole school level. Consequently, low-level disruption occurs in some classrooms, and this affects the flow of learning. Leaders should make sure that all staff are supported to ably apply the behaviour principles and expectations consistently.
- Some subject leaders do not have the opportunity to gain a sufficiently complete overview of work in their subjects from the early years to Year 6. This means that they cannot always develop their subjects effectively. Senior leaders should ensure that all curriculum leaders are well trained and supported to enable them to develop the skills and knowledge they need to be able to check how well their subject is being taught throughout the school.
