Strengths
- “St Joseph’s Catholic Academy is a friendly, welcoming and inclusive school.”
- “Very positive relationships exist between adults and pupils and there is a strong sense of mutual respect.”
- “As a result, pupils behave well.”
To improve
- “There are some instances where teachers could be more tenacious in making sure that pupils apply basic skills such as correct letter formation and use of punctuation.”
- “In some subjects, such as geography, these tasks are not always sharply focused on the key knowledge that pupils need to remember.”
- “While the provision for pupils with SEND generally meets their needs, there are some instances where the targets on individual education plans are too broad.”
