Strengths
- “Sacred Heart Catholic Primary School is a warm, supportive and aspirational community.”
- “Leaders and staff have high ambitions for the achievement, behaviour and personal development of pupils, including children in the early years.”
- “Pupils enjoy learning and developing.”
To improve
- “However, in some parts of the early years curriculum, leaders have not identified the specific knowledge that children should learn as clearly as they have elsewhere.”
- “Therefore, in these areas of learning, children do not always benefit from experiences and activities that are as closely matched to the next stage of their education as they could be.”
