Strengths
- “Many effective changes have taken place at St Chad’s Catholic Primary School.”
- “Leaders have high expectations for all pupils.”
- “These are now beginning to be realised.”
To improve
- “However, results in national tests for Year 6 pupils who left in 2022, did not reflect the impact of these changes.”
- “However, assessment systems in the foundation subjects have only been implemented recently.”
- “As a result, it is too soon for leaders to know how effectively these systems assess pupils’ learning.”
