Strengths
- “St Teresa’s Catholic Primary School is a warm and supportive community.”
- “Pupils are proud ambassadors for their school.”
- “Their school motto permeates everything that they do.”
To improve
- “In a small number of subjects, pupils struggle to connect new learning with earlier concepts.”
- “This is because leaders have only recently clarified the most important knowledge and concepts that pupils need to learn in these subjects.”
- “As a result, pupils have not developed a deep understanding of these subjects over time.”
