Strengths
- “Pupils and staff ‘live, love and learn’ together at St Margaret Mary, where every child is welcomed and nurtured.”
- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils’ achievement.”
- “Pupils are fully involved in school life and achieve well, whatever barriers some may face.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, teachers do not consistently identify pupils’ mistakes and spot when they are stuck.”
- “This means that pupils sometimes move on to new learning before they are ready.”
- “This hampers the progress that some make across the curriculum.”
