Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending this inclusive school where everyone receives a warm welcome.”
- “They attend very well and are proud of St Mary's and of belonging to the school 'family'.”
- “All pupils, from all backgrounds, benefit from effective pastoral support which helps them to quickly form friendships and to look out for one another.”
To improve
- “This is not consistently reflected in published outcomes, in part due to the high mobility of pupils attending the school.”
- “Pupils' published outcomes have historically been variable.”
- “Additionally, in a small number of foundation subjects, pupils do not secure the important learning or vocabulary as well as they could.”
