What This School Does Well
The mathematics department has strong leadership that is actively working to improve teaching quality and student outcomes. The school effectively supports its lowest-attaining students through targeted catch-up programmes and teaching assistant support. New approaches to marking and feedback are encouraging students to think more deeply about their work.
Key Strengths
- New subject leader has clear vision for improvement and is implementing more rigorous monitoring of teaching quality
- Curriculum has been reviewed to prepare students for new GCSE requirements, with focus on developing problem-solving skills
- Early intervention and catch-up programmes effectively support lower-attaining students, particularly in Years 7 and 8
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching approaches are inconsistent across the department and don't always support student progression
- Lower-attaining and disadvantaged students are not making progress as quickly as they should compared to other students nationally
- Achievement gaps between disadvantaged students and their peers are not narrowing quickly enough
Extracurricular Activities
Olympic gymnast Beth Tweddle delivered activity on using mathematics in sports-related nutrition
St Julie's Catholic High School's mathematics department requires improvement overall, though leadership and curriculum are good. The department is recovering from staffing instability with a new subject leader now in place.
