Strengths
- “Pupils are happy to attend St Bernadette Catholic Primary School.”
- “They enjoy learning in the school’s warm, caring environment.”
- “All year groups play well together and are considerate towards one another.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, teachers do not use assessment well enough to highlight what pupils know and what they need to learn next.”
- “This means pupils’ understanding in these subjects is less secure than it is in others.”
- “Pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could.”
