Strengths
- “St Hugh’s Catholic Primary is a happy school where pupils feel welcome.”
- “Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are valued for their individuality.”
- “They celebrate diversity and show respect for the differences between people.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally, staff do not identify the additional needs of pupils with SEND as quickly as they should.”
- “This hampers the quality and timeliness of support for these pupils, which impedes how well they access some parts of the curriculum.”
- “However, in a few subjects, teachers do not check precisely enough to identify the specific gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
