Strengths
- “Pupils arrive at school in the morning with a smile on their face, keen to start learning.”
- “The kind, caring culture means pupils are soon made to feel like they belong as part of the welcoming community the school strives to be.”
- “This diverse community comes together as one incredibly quickly and this enables pupils to feel happy, settled and valued members of the St Paul’s family.”
To improve
- “While pupils achieve well in many subjects, they do not leave school as well prepared in writing as they could be.”
- “However, there remains work to do to ensure that teaching consistently supports pupils, especially those who are disadvantaged, to improve as writers.”
- “While pupils secure the important building blocks of knowledge they need, they often struggle to apply their knowledge when writing extended pieces of work.”
