School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You have developed a strong ethos where the school’s Catholic values are at the heart of everyone’s work. You, your staff and governors are ambitious for pupils and have established an inclusive community where people are highly valued. At the previous inspection, the inspectors asked you to provide more opportunities for parents to help their children improve their skills in both reading and writing. You have done this well. You actively involve parents in their children’s learning by providing reading sessions for them to read with their children. Also, staff have led reading and writing information sessions for parents. The use of the school app to let parents know what their children will be learning each week has led to greater parental involvement in their children’s learning. You were also asked to provide greater challenge for the most able pupils in key stage 2, especially in English. In response to this, you have raised expectations for the most able pupils and you hold focused meetings to discuss their progress. Leaders have helped staff to improve their questioning skills. In some classes, the most able pupils have the opportunity to discuss and analyse the structure of complex writing. This helps them to ensure that their own writing is clear and well organised. However, there is still some work to do to ensure that the most able are consistently challenged to achieve greater depth in their learning.
