Strengths
- “Pupils at St Mary’s flourish in a calm, confident and forward looking school, where every child is celebrated and supported.”
- “They achieve highly and with real pride because they follow a curriculum that prepares them confidently for their next steps.”
- “Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or have special educational needs and/or disabilities, make impressive progress from their starting points.”
To improve
- “However, assessment is not always used consistently to spot mistakes or to address misconceptions as quickly as they could be.”
- “This means that in a small number of subjects, teaching does not secure the depth of knowledge teachers intend.”
