What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 September 2023

Pupils enjoy attending St Winefride's and behave well. They are safe here and appreciate the caring and supportive environment. Pupils know that staff will swiftly resolve any worries they may have. All pupils are fully included in the life of the school, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have designed a broad and ambitious curriculum. Staff have high expectations. As a result, pupils work hard and build a depth of knowledge in most subjects over time. The school encourages each pupil to develop a wide variety of interests. Pupils appreciate the range of activities available to them, including mindfulness, a climbing wall, crochet and yoga. Many pupils take part in the 'Commonwealth Youth Choir', performing for members of the Royal Family. All pupils attend a range of educational visits, such as to local art museums. Visits to different places of worship and regular multicultural days encourage pupils to celebrate other religions and cultures. Pupils support the well-being of others both in and beyond the school community, including raising money for charity and organising an annual 'reverse advent calendar'. The school council members, as well as pupil teams who represent different subjects, work with leaders to ensure pupils' views contribute to the life of the school.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, and in early years, the tasks and activities pupils are given do not consistently match the ambition of the planned curriculum. In these instances, pupils' knowledge and skills are not as secure as in other areas. The school needs to ensure the activities provided to pupils consistently reflect the intended ambition of the planned curriculum.
