Ofsted Headlines

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school.

St Joseph’s retains a positive ethos in which pupils develop strong academic and social skills.

Pupils typically behave very well, are respectful and contribute fully to the harmonious learning environment that is such a positive feature in school.

Pupils want to learn and are supportive of each other in lessons. They respond to teachers’ increasingly high expectations well.

Pupils have access to a well-balanced curriculum, including opportunities for pupils to learn about a variety of cultures and faiths.

Pupils move around the attractive, high-quality environment in an orderly, cheerful manner. They also mix happily and energetically at break and lunchtime.

Early years provision is a strength of the school. The learning environment is well organised, bright and stimulating.

Safeguarding is effective. Pupils speak confidently and appreciatively about school leaders’ actions that make St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School a safe and happy place to learn. Pupils are able to explain the strategies they use to keep safe when using the internet and are alert as to why it is important to do so.  Adults are well trained in, and alert to, their safeguarding responsibilities.
