Strengths
- “St Helen’s Catholic Primary School is welcoming and inclusive to all pupils.”
- “Parents and carers agree that the school is a warm, friendly and caring community for their children to learn in.”
- “Pupils eagerly come to school every day with a smile on their face.”
To improve
- “A few subjects are at an earlier stage of design and implementation.”
- “In these instances, the knowledge pupils need to secure is less well defined and teachers are sometimes less precise about what they want pupils to learn.”
- “As a result, some of the tasks and activities provided do not enable pupils to build their understanding of important ideas securely.”
