Strengths
- “A palpable sense of compassion and community shines through at this Catholic faith school, where pupils ‘live, love and learn as Jesus taught’.”
- “Pupils relish coming to school and are rarely absent or late.”
- “They are happy, feel safe and love to learn.”
To improve
- “During some lessons, teachers do not gauge pupils’ understanding in the moment effectively enough.”
- “This means they can sometimes move on to new learning before pupils are ready.”
- “However, the school lacks a clear strategy to ensure consistency around such aspects as clubs on offer.”
