Strengths
- “Pupils thrive, personally and academically, at St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School.”
- “Pupils are able to talk about what this means to them as individuals.”
- “Pupils are proud to be themselves and to celebrate the things that make themselves special, but know that while other people may be different, they are equally special.”
To improve
- “However, where pupils do not have sufficient opportunities to recall and use previous learning, such as with aspects of problem-solving and reasoning in mathematics, learning is less secure.”
