What This School Does Well
This school has made impressive improvements and provides good teaching across the curriculum. Staff have high expectations of pupils and use questions effectively to help them understand their learning. Teaching assistants provide excellent support, and the school is a warm, harmonious place where pupils feel valued and behave well.
Key Strengths
- Good progress in reading, writing and mathematics with improving standards across the school
- High-quality teaching with strong use of questioning to check pupil understanding
- Teaching assistants play a major role in supporting successful learning for all pupils
- Good behaviour and strong sense of safety - the school is a harmonious, welcoming place
- Effective use of pupil premium funding to support disadvantaged pupils
Areas for Improvement
- Mathematics standards are not as high as in reading and writing - teachers need to provide better feedback when marking maths work
- Pupils lack sufficient opportunities to use mathematics across other subjects and need stronger number fact recall
- Not all subject leaders are fully involved in checking teaching quality and monitoring how well more-able pupils are progressing
- Systems for checking teaching quality do not focus sharply enough on the progress of more-able pupils
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective - the school's work to keep pupils safe and secure is good, with pupils reporting they feel safe and well cared for.
Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Primary School is a good school that has improved rapidly since the previous inspection. Leaders and governors have successfully raised achievement, particularly in reading and writing, though mathematics standards remain an area for development.
