St Vincent's Catholic Primary School

Overview: St Vincent's Catholic Primary School continues to be a good school, with pupils being happy and enthusiastic about their learning. The school's values are embedded in meaningful ways, and pupils demonstrate these values in their behaviour and treatment of one another.

Strengths:

• Pupils are happy and support one another, knowing that everyone is treated equally and supportively.
• Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning, with teachers presenting difficult ideas clearly and providing opportunities for pupils to reflect on what they already know.
• The school's values are embedded in meaningful ways, with pupils demonstrating these values in their behaviour and treatment of one another.
• Teachers provide the support needed for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to take a full part in lessons.
• The school has a well-organised curriculum for each subject, with subject leaders knowledgeable about their areas of responsibility.

Areas to improve:

• The school should continue to develop its enrichment programme in line with pupils' abilities, interests and aspirations, so that pupils have opportunities to undertake roles of responsibility and develop their talents.
• Leaders should ensure that all support staff have the training they need to provide high-quality support to pupils, particularly those learning to read.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective, with leaders providing frequent training to ensure that staff are fully aware of the risks to children and what signs to look for.
