Strengths
- “Pupils at St Theresa’s experience a deep feeling of belonging within the school community.”
- “This is because staff take time to listen to and get to know them individually, embodying the school’s mission to ‘do the little things well’.”
- “Pupils are welcomed warmly into school each day.”
To improve
- “The teaching of writing is not as consistently effective as other areas of teaching.”
- “Staff do not routinely identify errors in letter formation quickly.”
