Strengths
- “St George and St Martin’s Catholic Academy is a happy, vibrant place where everyone is welcomed and no one is left out.”
- “Pupils, and children in the early years, form strong, positive bonds with each other and with staff.”
- “This helps pupils to feel safe and part of the warm, nurturing school community.”
To improve
- “At times, learning activities are not as closely matched as they could be to pupils’ needs.”
- “For example, the school, on occasion, expects pupils to complete complex tasks before they have secured the knowledge and skills that they need to complete them.”
- “When this happens, pupils do not learn the curriculum as securely as they could.”
