Strengths
- “The school offers a warm and welcoming learning environment for its pupils.”
- “They are proud to attend St Mary’s.”
- “Pupils feel safe and build positive relationships with the adults who care for them.”
To improve
- “Although the curriculum has been carefully sequenced from early years to Year 6, the delivery of the curriculum in some lessons does not focus on the key knowledge that pupils are required to learn or need to consolidate.”
- “However, subject leaders do not have a clear oversight of this information.”
- “Therefore, the school is not able to evaluate the curriculum effectively enough or respond to pupils’ needs in a timely way.”
