Strengths
- “Pupils are incredibly proud members of the St Peter’s community.”
- “They rightly describe their school as welcoming and inclusive.”
- “Pupils are very happy and enjoy school.”
To improve
- “However, some newer, recently developed aspects of the wider curriculum are not having the same impact on pupils’ learning.”
- “While pupils learn well overall, in some subjects, the most crucial knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember is not as clearly defined as that seen in English and mathematics.”
- “On occasions, too much information and vocabulary is shared, making it difficult for some pupils to remember it.”
