What does this report say about our school?

Our Pupils

Pupils in the school are well behaved and motivated to do well.

Pupils show respect for others, value difference, listen with empathy to others and behave well both in class and throughout the school.

"Children from the resource base are helped, encouraged, and supported to integrate
into the life of the school. As a result of this provision pupils feel happy and secure
within the school. "

Teachers use questioning to help pupils

recall prior learning and to clarify their understanding.

Pupils take part in the prayer life of the school; are respectful, listen well and join in the prayers and the singing. They value the opportunity to be reflective and can
engage in stillness and silence.

Our People 

Leaders and governors are committed to improvement and they have

a good understanding of what the school needs to do in the future.

Relationships between staff and pupils are good

and contribute to the good behaviour around the school. 

Leaders and governors support the mission of the Church and

are fully committed to developing the Catholic life of the school.

Our Values

integrate fully into the school
