Strengths
- “SS Osmund and Andrew’s RC Primary School is a welcoming school at the heart of its local community.”
- “Pupils, including children in early years, benefit from the kind and caring relationships that they forge with staff.”
- “Pupils have a strong, shared understanding of the clear rules and high standards that their teachers set.”
To improve
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining the essential knowledge that they want pupils to know and remember over time.”
- “Added to this, a few teachers do not use leaders’ assessment systems as effectively as they could in these subjects.”
- “Some pupils do not build on their prior learning as well as they could.”
