Strengths
- “Pupils’ thoughtful and kind attitudes at St Joseph’s School reflect its positive ethos.”
- “They do their best to live out the school’s value of treating each other the way they would like to be treated.”
- “Pupils are safe and very happy at school.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes, teachers give pupils too many new things to learn and understand about a subject all in one go.”
- “This results in pupils finding it harder to remember more of what they are learning.”
- “In a few subjects, however, this is inconsistent, and pupils do not fully grasp the subjectspecific vocabulary needed to make sense of their new learning.”
