Strengths
- “Pupils enjoy attending St Catherine’s and are proud of their school.”
- “Everyone is made to feel welcome.”
- “Pupils play an active role in the local community.”
To improve
- “However, the way leaders have organised their curriculum means that some subjects are not taught each term.”
- “This means there are gaps between when pupils learn these subjects.”
- “Leaders have not ensured that teaching in some of these subjects emphasises and revisits the most important subject knowledge pupils should learn.”
