What This School Does Well

St Antony's is a welcoming school where children love coming to school and behaviour is outstanding. Standards are above average and the school effectively supports all groups of pupils to make good progress. The strong curriculum and Catholic ethos create an excellent sense of community where pupils develop respect for themselves and others.

Key Strengths

  • Outstanding behaviour and relationships with pupils showing exceptional courtesy and respect
  • Above average standards at the end of Year 6 with good progress being made across the school
  • Effective tracking systems that quickly identify underachievement and put additional support in place
  • Strong curriculum that promotes spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
  • Good quality Early Years provision that helps children make a strong start to school life

Areas for Improvement

  • Teachers do not always use assessment information to plan tasks that challenge all pupils, especially the more able
  • Marking is inconsistent across the school with too few opportunities for pupils to respond to teacher feedback
  • School improvement plans are not focused well enough on key priorities to improve teaching
  • Teachers do not share enough good and better teaching practice with each other

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective with pupils knowing how to keep themselves safe and being involved in developing e-safety posters around the school.
