Strengths
- “Pupils at St Marychurch are vibrant and confident individuals.”
- “They are proud of their school and the changes that it has undergone in the last academic year.”
- “Pupils conduct themselves well in lessons, when moving around the school and during playtimes.”
To improve
- “However, this is not the case for all pupils.”
- “Strengths observed in some areas, such as ongoing assessment, high expectations and understanding of how to get the best from pupils, are not fully embedded across the school.”
- “Where these aspects are not as well embedded, pupils do not learn as well.”
