Strengths
- “St Patrick’s Church of England School is a caring and welcoming place to learn.”
- “Pupils talked about the school as being part of ‘one family’.”
- “Warm relationships are at the heart of this school.”
To improve
- “In a few subjects, it is less clear what pupils should learn and when subject content should be taught.”
- “This makes it difficult for teachers to design learning that helps pupils to build on what they know.”
- “At times, this hinders pupils from building a secure body of knowledge.”
