Strengths
- “This is a caring and happy school where pupils’ love of learning is nurtured.”
- “Over their time at St Clare’s, pupils grow in confidence and develop a deep sense of respect for one another.”
- “Pupils enjoy the high academic challenges that the school’s ambitious curriculum provides.”
To improve
- “However, sometimes the learning tasks that pupils complete do not give them sufficient opportunities to put their newly acquired knowledge into practice.”
- “However, for some pupils, the targets and strategies that the school has identified have not been reviewed or considered carefully enough.”
- “This results in some pupils with SEND accessing work that is too easy or that does not give them the opportunity to practise the skills that they need to develop.”
