What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
Pupils, without exception, say that Trinity Catholic School has transformed over the last 12 months. There are high expectations of behaviour which pupils understand and meet. Staff provide pupils with effective help and support when some struggle to meet these. Pupils really appreciate the calm and positive environment this has created, where they can learn without disruption. Caring and respectful relationships between staff and pupils are valued by all. The school has made good inroads into redeveloping the curriculum to improve pupils' outcomes. This has successfully helped pupils to develop more positive attitudes to learning. However, many changes to the curriculum are new or still in development. This means that pupils are not achieving as well as they should in some subjects. The school knows each pupil and their needs in precise detail. This means that all pupils benefit from an individualised personal development offer when needed. Support for vulnerable pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is particularly effective in helping them to understand how to keep themselves safe. Pupils can participate in an increasing range of wider activities, including playing chess, board games and reading at breaktimes in the library.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not check pupils' learning carefully enough. This means that gaps in pupils' learning and misconceptions persist. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment precisely to ensure that pupils develop secure knowledge to enable them to make better progress.
- On some occasions, teachers do not provide pupils with learning activities that support learning well enough or use effective questioning to deepen pupils' thinking. This limits the progress pupils make. The school should provide further training and support to enable all teachers to implement the curriculum consistently well to enable all pupils to make good progress.
