Strengths
- “St Stephen’s Catholic Primary School is a welcoming place to be.”
- “The school provides a nurturing environment where pupils can learn well.”
- “Staff foster a keen sense of pride among pupils, ensuring that they feel happy, safe and secure.”
To improve
- “Nevertheless, the school is finalising the knowledge that pupils should learn in a small number of subjects.”
- “This means that, on occasion, some teachers find it more difficult to design learning that helps pupils to gain important knowledge.”
- “At times, this leads to gaps in some pupils’ learning in these subjects.”
