Strengths
- “Pupils at St Osmund’s belong to a diverse and vibrant community where heritage and culture are celebrated.”
- “The school is welcoming, providing a rich range of experiences and opportunities for pupils to develop character.”
- “There are high expectations of pupils.”
To improve
- “In a few areas of the curriculum, the school has not clearly identified how pupils’ learning should be checked, so it cannot be sure that all pupils have learned what is intended.”
- “Occasionally, teaching moves on to more complex learning before all pupils have a secure knowledge.”
- “This means that misconceptions are not always addressed and pupils fall behind.”
