Strengths
- “St Joseph’s is a warm and welcoming school with its community at its heart.”
- “Pupils said that they feel happy and safe because adults care about them.”
- “Parents and carers hold the school in high regard and appreciate the support that they receive from staff.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, teaching does not check that pupils can remember what they have been taught previously before moving on to new learning.”
- “This means that pupils develop gaps in their knowledge.”
- “However, in a few instances, the books that pupils read are not as well matched to their phonics knowledge as they need to be.”
