Strengths
- “Pupils and families at St Simon’s Catholic Primary School are warmly welcomed by staff every morning.”
- “Pupils, parents and carers are highly positive about the quality of education that staff provide.”
- “Many pupils comment on the strong relationships they have with staff.”
To improve
- “In these remaining few subjects, leaders have not fully ensured that teachers know exactly what to teach pupils and when to teach it.”
- “Occasionally, this hinders some pupils from learning all the important information that they could.”
- “However, sometimes, teachers do not provide pupils with enough opportunities to revisit prior learning.”
