Strengths
- “The school’s values of service, dignity, respect, academia, cooperation and excellence are embedded in the life of La Sainte Union.”
- “Pupils demonstrate kindness towards each other.”
- “Bullying is rare, and typically staff are effective in dealing with incidents if they occur.”
To improve
- “The published outcomes in 2023 do not fully reflect the strength of the curriculum.”
- “Sometimes, staff are not consistently checking for understanding and adapting teaching to support pupils as effectively as they could, based on their starting points.”
- “This means that some pupils, including some with SEND, are not developing their understanding and fluency across subjects.”
