Strengths
- “Kindness, care and Catholic values are at the heart of St.”
- “Children get off to a strong start in the early years.”
- “Across the school, staff build warm and supportive relationships with the pupils in their care.”
To improve
- “In some lessons, the exact knowledge that staff want pupils to learn is not clear.”
- “This means that teaching tasks are not always adapted well to meet the learning needs of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).”
- “However, limitations in the outdoor environment, including the space available, mean that children’s physical development is not as well catered for as it could be.”
