Pupils welcome you with a smile at St Peter Chanel Catholic Primary School. They are happy, safe and well cared for. They enjoy talking about their successes at the school and about their learning in the subjects they enjoy. Many parents and carers told me that their children love coming to the school and enjoy being there. Pupils have a strong sense of right and wrong. They behave well but understand the implications if they are ‘silly’ during lessons. They enjoy the rewards they receive for good behaviour or learning, and accept any sanctions they receive maturely. Pupils play well together, and bullying incidents are rare. Most pupils know that they have trusted adults in the school who they can go to if they have any worries or concerns. They know how to keep themselves safe in the school and are aware of possible risks to their safety outside the school. Pupils value the warm relationships they have with teaching assistants. Leaders, staff and governors share a strong desire to make sure that pupils achieve the best they can. Teachers have benefited from training to help them plan and teach a wide range of subjects. However, this guidance has not yet helped teachers to support the needs of all pupils to achieve as well as they should.
