Strengths
- “Saint Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, the Borough is an inclusive place to learn.”
- “The school’s values of encouraging diversity, equality and empowering leadership are put into practice in all aspects of the school’s work.”
- “Pupils are supported to live these values through their kindness towards, and celebration of, each other’s achievements.”
To improve
- “However, this detailed curriculum thinking is still a work in progress in some subjects and, as a result, pupils’ recall of what they have been taught in previous years is not as secure.”
- “This limits pupils’ ability to link new knowledge to their prior learning and impacts on their overall achievement in these subjects.”
