Strengths
- “St Catherine is a welcoming school, where pupils feel a strong sense of belonging.”
- “Staff know pupils and their families well and help to ensure that the school’s values run through every aspect of school life.”
- “Pupils feel settled, happy and safe and think that adults are kind and respectful.”
To improve
- “However, in a few wider curriculum subjects, the curriculum is less successful in supporting them to develop a detailed body of knowledge.”
- “This is because, sometimes, teaching expertise is not strong enough to support pupils in deepening their understanding.”
