Strengths
- “Bishop Creighton is a happy and friendly school at the heart of the community.”
- “Pupils feel safe and cared for; they look forward to coming to school.”
- “Pupils meet the school’s aims to be ‘confident individuals, responsible citizens and future ready’.”
To improve
- “However, where the curriculum is less developed and teachers are not as secure with subject specific knowledge and vocabulary, the curriculum is not routinely implemented as well as leaders intend.”
- “Consequently, pupils do not achieve as well in these areas of the curriculum.”
- “For example, younger pupils struggle to transfer their understanding of the past to different contexts in history.”
