Our Lady's Catholic Primary School

Overview: Our Lady's Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, with leaders, staff, pupils and families following the school's vision of 'loving, learning and reaching out to all' each day. Strong relationships across the school contribute to pupils feeling safe and achieving well.

Strengths:

• Strong relationships across the school, with pupils feeling safe and supported.
• Leaders are highly ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including those with SEND.
• Pupils benefit from high-quality opportunities that enhance their learning and personal development.
• The school has a strong sense of community, with pupils understanding equality and diversity.
• Leaders have developed a highly effective programme of learning to support pupils' personal development.

Areas to improve:

• In a small number of foundation subjects, leaders' curriculum development is not as well developed as in others, meaning pupils' knowledge in these subjects is not as secure as leaders would wish.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders ensuring that staff have been trained to understand their safeguarding responsibilities and a clear system for staff to swiftly report any concerns they may have.
