Strengths
- “St Bartholomew’s School places families at the heart of all it does.”
- “There is a strong sense of community here.”
- “Staff work closely with parents and carers to build positive relationships.”
To improve
- “Provisional data 2024 at the end of key stage 2 is below national expectations for reading, writing and mathematics.”
- “This presents the school with significant challenges in ensuring all pupils receive an education that is closely matched to their starting points.”
- “However, during some whole class teaching sessions for mathematics and English, including a small proportion of early reading sessions, teachers do not always check pupils’ understanding.”
