For leaders and staff at Our Lady and St Teresa’s, pupils’ well-being is as important as their academic achievement. In this small school, adults and children get on well and respect each other. During the inspection, parents and carers commented on the ‘heart-warming’ assemblies that celebrate pupils’ achievements. Pupils enjoy lessons, because teachers make them interesting and fun. The curriculum is ambitious. Pupils study a wide range of subjects from the start of Year 1. Teachers and support staff help pupils when they find tasks difficult. Teachers encourage pupils to work together and to help each other. Pupils know that teachers want them to do well. Results in national tests were much improved last year. Pupils behave well in the school. Staff are attentive to their needs. If pupils do something wrong, teachers give them the opportunity to reflect on their behaviour. This approach is successful. Pupils and staff told us that it works well. Pupils understand what bullying is and why it should not happen. They told us that it is not a problem in the school. When it happens, pupils know who to talk to and staff address it.
