Strengths
- “Pupils flourish at St Thomas More Catholic First School.”
- “The school is at the centre of the community, and it is an inclusive and welcoming place.”
- “Pupils are proud to attend the school.”
To improve
- “The school recognises that the curriculum needs further embedding as it is still new.”
- “For example, in some wider curriculum subjects the school has not yet identified the precise knowledge it wants pupils to know and remember.”
- “As a result, pupils do not always gain the depth of understanding that they need to make links with previous learning.”
