What This School Does Well
The school has effective teaching in some year groups, particularly in Year 1 where learning is engaging and pupils make rapid progress. Teaching assistants provide good support for literacy and numeracy. The school is successfully closing the attainment gap for disadvantaged pupils compared to national averages.
Key Strengths
- Standards at the end of Key Stage 1 have improved in reading, writing and mathematics since the previous inspection
- Mathematics attainment at the end of Year 6 has increased
- The gap between disadvantaged pupils and national averages is narrowing
- School leaders and governors have a clear understanding of strengths and weaknesses
Areas for Improvement
- Pupils' progress is too variable across classes and teaching quality ranges from inadequate to outstanding
- Attainment in reading, writing and mathematics remains below national average at the end of Years 2 and 6
- The most able pupils are not challenged enough in lessons
- Grammar, punctuation and spelling in writing need improvement
- A small number of pupils disrupt learning by not responding positively to instructions
Safeguarding
Safeguarding information was not included in the provided report excerpt.
St Clare's Catholic Primary School requires improvement. It is not yet good because pupils' progress is too variable across the school, attainment in key subjects is below national expectations, and the quality of teaching is inconsistent.
