From Ofsted report, inspected Mar 2024

Strengths

  • “Pupils thrive in this nurturing and supportive school.”
  • “They are proud of attending St Mary’s with its inclusive ethos and are kept safe here.”
  • “Staff work in very close partnership with parents and carers and the wider community to provide a positive experience for all pupils.”

To improve

  • “In some subjects, assessment is not used as precisely to check what pupils know and remember.”
  • “As a result, errors and misconceptions in pupils’ understanding are not identified and addressed swiftly.”
  • “This means some pupils do not secure the knowledge they need to tackle more complex ideas later on.”
