Strengths
- “Pupils love being at St Augustine’s because they are cared for by nurturing staff.”
- “There are excellent relationships between pupils and adults in the school.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are responding well to the high expectations that are set for their learning.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, and sometimes in the early years, the key knowledge that the school wants pupils to remember is not communicated well enough to them.”
- “Consequently, pupils are not as clear on what they have learned previously.”
