Strengths
- “Pupils embody the school’s vision and describe St Mary of the Angels as a happy school where they love learning.”
- “They enjoy their work and the opportunities for learning outside the classroom, including in local woodlands.”
- “Pupils benefit greatly from an extensive range of initiatives to support their emotional and mental health.”
To improve
- “However, in a few subjects, the organisation of the curriculum does not enable important knowledge to be revisited often enough.”
- “Where this is the case, pupils find it hard to recall some of the knowledge needed as the basis for new learning.”
- “This slows the progress that they make in their learning.”
