Strengths
- “There is a warm family feel at Saint Peter’s Catholic Voluntary Academy.”
- “Pupils go about their school lives with smiles on their faces.”
- “They feel safe, comfortable and confident in their surroundings.”
To improve
- “However, in some of the foundation subjects, some aspects of the curriculum are not clear enough about what pupils need to know and remember.”
- “As a result, pupils do not gain a deep and detailed understanding of some of the important concepts that are in the national curriculum.”
- “However, there is a limited range of extra-curricular clubs on offer at the school, which prevents pupils from developing a wide range of talents and interests.”
