Strengths
- “St Gerard’s is a happy and harmonious community.”
- “Pupils learn that everyone is equal and should be treated with respect.”
- “Initiatives such as ‘Friendship February’ and ‘Make me smile March’ promote the importance of care and kindness.”
To improve
- “Leaders and teachers are now refining their expertise so they can support pupils to learn equally well in all subjects.”
- “Where teachers’ subject expertise is less secure, they do not always prioritise the most important knowledge to teach.”
- “Sometimes they teach content that does not build in a logical order.”
