Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy coming to school and show a clear sense of pride at being part of the St Paul’s school family.”
- “Warm relationships between staff and pupils are quickly established, making pupils feel safe and happy.”
- “These positive relationships are underpinned by the school’s clear Christian values.”
To improve
- “However, in some other subjects, assessments do not match the intended learning set out in the subject curriculums.”
- “As a result, assessments do not help staff to spot potential gaps in pupils’ knowledge.”
- “This hinders pupils from learning more and remembering more of the wider curriculum.”
