Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy belonging to the St Aloysius family.”
- “They said that this makes them feel happy, cared for and safe.”
- “Pupils understand and follow the school’s ‘Respect’ code of conduct well.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the knowledge and understanding that pupils need to make progress towards the required learning.”
- “As a result, staff do not always recognise where there are gaps in learning.”
- “However, the absence levels for some pupils remain a concern.”
