Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to attend this caring and welcoming school.”
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, quickly learn the school routines.”
- “They are well supported by older pupil ‘buddies’ throughout their first year at St Mary’s.”
To improve
- “However, at times the checks on pupils’ learning are not as effective as they should be.”
- “This means that some pupils move on to new learning before they are ready.”
- “In 2023, the proportion of pupils who met the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check and those who attained the expected standard in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 2 was significantly below the national average.”
