What Ofsted said about St Peter's Catholic Primary Academy
Overview
St Peter’s Catholic Primary School is described as a “welcoming school” where pupils are “happy and keen to learn.” The report highlights a positive culture where children feel “safe and valued,” with “exemplary” behaviour and strong relationships between staff and pupils.
Strengths
- Behaviour is “exemplary in both classes and around the school,” with older pupils showing “care and consideration for younger children.”
- The curriculum is “broad” and “meets the needs of pupils well,” including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Early reading has been strengthened, with Reception children making a “rapid start” and developing a “love of reading.”
- Pupils demonstrate strong personal development, confidently discussing values such as “resilience, diversity and inclusion” and showing good knowledge of internet safety.
- Governors are “knowledgeable about the school” and actively monitor staff well-being and workload.
Areas to improve
- In some lessons, teachers “move on too quickly to new learning,” resulting in “misconceptions or gaps in pupils’ understanding” of key concepts.
- The school does not “consistently check the effectiveness of strategies” to support all pupils, meaning some disadvantaged pupils “do not achieve as well as they could.”
Safeguarding
The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
