What This School Does Well
St Vincent de Paul provides a warm, welcoming environment where pupils are happy, proud and eager to learn. By the time children leave in Year 6, they achieve above-average results in English and mathematics and are well prepared for secondary school. The school excels at developing pupils' character, creating an exceptionally harmonious community where pupils from many different backgrounds thrive together.
Key Strengths
- Teaching in Nursery, Reception and Key Stage 2 is strong, with pupils achieving above-average attainment by the time they leave
- Pupils' behaviour is good and spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is excellent, creating a harmonious school community
- Safeguarding procedures are outstanding and the school shows exceptional care for vulnerable pupils
- Parents are very supportive, pupils have above-average attendance and love coming to school
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching at Key Stage 1 does not challenge the most able pupils enough and they do not progress as quickly as they should
- Teachers at Key Stage 1 do not give clear enough feedback to help pupils understand how to improve their work
- Pupils at Key Stage 1 lack confidence in writing longer pieces and writing across different subjects
- Middle leaders are not sufficiently involved in checking and improving teaching quality
- Governors do not have a precise enough understanding of pupil progress data to effectively challenge school leaders
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective with outstanding procedures for keeping pupils safe and secure, and leaders show high levels of care particularly for vulnerable pupils.
St Vincent de Paul Catholic Primary School requires improvement overall. While teaching and achievement in Key Stage 2 are strong with above-average final attainment, progress at Key Stage 1 in English and mathematics is not fast enough.
