Ofsted and Performance Data
Please find below our most recent Ofsted reports and relevant information from the Department for Education Performance Tables.
Our school underwent its most recent Ofsted Inspection in February 2020. Our Lady's Catholic Primary School remains a good school.
As a school community, we are proud of our school and this is reflected in the report. Due to the new changes to inspections and reports from September 2019, reports do not contain all the feedback given by the inspector to governors and senior leaders. Therefore, notes were also taken at the meeting with the inspector and these are also available for you to read. Please do take the time to look through them.
We are committed to providing the very best education for all pupils as we continue on our journey ensuring the whole school community flourishes.
Some comments from the report were as follows:
- Pupils are proud of their school. They are well cared for, respected and valued by all staff.
- Leaders and staff have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special
educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). - Pupils live up to these high expectations. Pupils behave very well. They work and play happily together.
- The early years is a warm and vibrant place for children to learn. Children in the early years make good progress across all areas of the curriculum.
- Leaders promote pupils character very well. Pupils have opportunities to see themselves as citizens in the wider world. They are taught how to bring about change and contribute positively to society.
- Pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe, including when online.
- Leaders want the very best for all pupils and staff. Governors say that 'this is a school full of joy.'
