St Peter's Catholic Primary School

Overview: St Peter's Catholic Primary School is a well-performing school with a strong focus on behaviour, personal development, and safeguarding. Pupils are proud to be members of the school community, behave exceptionally well, and feel happy and safe. The school has a strong curriculum and provides opportunities for pupils to take on positions of leadership.

Strengths:

• Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and when moving around the school.
• Pupils feel happy and safe, and everyone is celebrated, including those of other faiths and those in all different kinds of families.
• The school provides opportunities for pupils to take on positions of leadership, such as 'Mini Mid Days' and running the school tuck-shop.
• Pupils develop an understanding of how they can support the local community and take pride in making a difference to the lives of others.
• The school has a strong curriculum, with leaders having designed a curriculum which is ambitious and set out in a logical order.

Areas to improve:

• In a few subjects, the expectations of what pupils can achieve limit some pupils. Leaders should make sure that, in all subjects, they set high expectations for what all pupils can achieve.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders have embedded a strong safeguarding culture across the school, and they make sure safeguarding and recruitment procedures are rigorous.
