Strengths

• “St Augustine’s Catholic College is a happy school community that pupils and adults are proud to be members of.”
• “The desire to provide educational opportunities which make individuals the best that they can be drives all that the school does.”
• “The St Augustine’s SPIRIT (self-control, positivity, integrity, respect, initiative and teamwork) reminds pupils how to approach their learning.”

To improve

• “However, at times some pupil behaviour does fall below expectations and this is not always challenged by adults.”
• “On these occasions it frustrates pupils that the behaviour of others is impacting on their learning.”
• “However, routines for checking understanding between these assessments are less well established.”
