Strengths
- “At St Cuthbert’s Catholic Primary School, pupils are supported to become aspirational and respectful.”
- “This helps them to make a positive contribution to their local community.”
- “Staff know pupils and their families well and offer prompt support as needed.”
To improve
- “However, on occasion, the activities that pupils complete do not focus on the essential learning that is identified in the curriculum.”
- “This means that, at times, some pupils do not learn all of the important information and vocabulary that they need for future learning.”
