Strengths
- “St Mary’s is a caring, nurturing school, where happy children enjoy learning.”
- “Pupils’ attitudes towards learning are very positive.”
- “Their behaviour in class and during social times is calm and sensible.”
To improve
- “Some changes in the school’s curriculum have occurred more recently and are not fully embedded.”
- “The full impact of these changes is still unfolding and not fully reflected in pupils’ learning.”
- “However, some strategies for pupil engagement are less embedded with some pupils needing further direction to draw their attention back to learning.”
