Strengths
- “English Martyrs’ Catholic Primary is an inclusive and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and speak of it with pride.”
- “They value the many opportunities that they have to work together.”
To improve
- “However, despite leaders’ work to improve pupils’ attendance, some pupils do not attend school regularly enough.”
- “However, teachers do not always recognise when some pupils are ready to move on to the next steps in their learning and do not adapt pupils’ learning accordingly.”
- “These systems are well established in mathematics and English, but they are less well developed in the foundation subjects.”
