Strengths
- “Everyone in this school community is enormously proud to be a part of St Mary’s.”
- “Warm and trusting relationships are at the heart of the school.”
- “For example, staff and pupils respect each other.”
To improve
- “However, on occasions, some teachers do not check with sufficient precision whether pupils have secure enough foundations on which to build the next steps in their learning.”
- “As a result, some pupils do not build up their knowledge as securely as they could do over time.”
- “While leaders track pupils to identify those who are not keeping up with their reading, some pupils have gaps in their phonics knowledge.”
