OUT NOW: Our new Catholic Schools Inspection Report

…pupils and staff treat one another respectfully, and leaders work tirelessly to include everyone in activities. Staff are good role models to their pupils. They confidently demonstrate Christian behaviours and attitudes because of the head teacher’s model discipleship. Pupils feel loved; they speak eloquently about the care adults show them in school and how it makes them feel.

Inspection report, St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, 18-19 May 2023

We are pleased to share with you the results of our latest Catholic Schools Inspectorate visit. As a Catholic school, in addition to Ofsted inspections, we are also subject to Catholic Schools Inspections (formerly called Section 48 inspections). Our grade judgement continues to be “GOOD”.

Uniform Standards 

UNIFORM MONITORING: 
Although there has been some improvement, we are still seeing non-compliant uniform – most notably PE Kit, jewellery and large/brightly coloured hair accessories.  A reminder that long hair should be tied back tidily; hair bobbles and clips should be small and we prefer that they are in the school colours, navy, grey or white.  Large hair pieces and jewellery are not allowed for health and safety reasons.
Full policy: Uniform Policy

SUMMER PLANNING: All children should have a water bottle in school and a sun hat.  If your child needs hayfever treatment – as with all medicine – this must be handed in at the office and a medicine form completed.

LABELS: protect your belongings and help us return them to their rightful owner. Buying from this site earns us commission:
