The dedication shown by all at St Patrick’s to improve this school has ensured that pupils now receive a high-quality education. All members of the community are united in their belief that this is a ‘great school to attend’ and feel lucky to be part of this ‘family’. Pupils are safe and happy because of the kind and caring relationships they form with each other and adults. Pupils do well in their learning because their social and emotional needs are so well met. Disadvantaged pupils do particularly well in their learning. This is an inclusive school where pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) take part in all activities on offer. Classrooms are calm places to learn. Pupils show increasing independence and excitement when learning new things. They listen attentively and provide thoughtful answers when asked challenging questions. Pupils greet visitors with a smile and demonstrate a willingness to discuss the many opportunities they are provided and their views of the school. Pupils enjoy being given the opportunity to decide what clubs they are offered with dodgeball, wheelchair basketball and art club being their favourites. Receiving a ‘golden ticket’ provides extra motivation to try new activities, all designed to develop confidence and physical well-being.
