Strengths
- “St Patrick’s Primary is an inclusive, caring and vibrant Catholic community school.”
- “Pupils are welcomed warmly at the gate, which helps them start the day positively.”
- “The school’s values shape daily life.”
To improve
- “Historically, pupils underperformed in their phonics screening check.”
- “However, some activities lack the ambition needed to build securely on prior learning or to address children’s precise next steps.”
- “Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and those with other barriers to learning, receive teaching that focuses on the stage they are at, rather than the curriculum for their age group.”
