Strengths
- “Pupils are proud to belong to St Joseph’s.”
- “Warm relationships are at the heart of the school.”
- “The staff care about the pupils.”
To improve
- “However, occasionally the delivery of the curriculum does not provide sufficient challenge for some pupils, including some pupils with SEND.”
- “However, some of the information the school holds on aspects such as attainment and behaviour is not analysed coherently.”
- “This makes it difficult to track the impact of actions on groups of pupils over time.”
