Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to St Austin’s Catholic Primary School.”
- “They are attentive in class, behave well and show respect towards each other and adults.”
- “They enjoy attending the breakfast club, where they catch up with their friends.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not check regularly enough to see if pupils have gaps in their knowledge.”
- “This hinders teachers from designing learning that builds on what pupils already know.”
