Strengths
- “Pupils at St Mary’s are proud to be part of a caring, inclusive and ambitious school community, where they ‘make a difference’ each and every day.”
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school.”
- “This is reflected in their positive attendance.”
To improve
- “Leaders understand that some pupils do not reach the higher standard because gaps in handwriting, spelling and grammar limit the accuracy and fluency needed for greater depth.”
- “However, support for securing accurate handwriting, spelling and grammar is not yet consistent across the school.”
- “Leaders recognise the need to strengthen progression in vocabulary between Nursery and Reception, ensuring new words are introduced, displayed and practised consistently across all areas of the provision.”
