Strengths
- “Adults have high expectations of what pupils will learn across the curriculum at St Mary and St Joseph’s Academy.”
- “Pupils are happy, feel safe and achieve well.”
- “Pupils discuss their learning well in subjects such as science and history.”
To improve
- “However, the approach to doing so is inconsistent and not fully effective.”
- “This is because the school has not yet exactly identified what pupils need to know and remember at some specific points in time.”
- “Although the school is aware of this, and work to address it is underway, further work is needed.”
