Strengths
- “Pupils are very happy at this school.”
- “A nurturing, caring and supportive ethos threads through every aspect of school life.”
- “Pupils said that St Mary’s is a school where ‘they have kind hands, and sharing is caring.’”
To improve
- “However, in Years 1 and 2, occasionally, the additional help is not as effective as the school intends it to be.”
- “This is because it is not focused with sufficient precision on enabling these pupils to gain quickly the phonics knowledge that they need to become fluent, confident readers.”
Safeguarding: Effective
