Ofsted have released this morning the latest Section 8 monitoring report for St Saviour’s Catholic Primary School in Totland.
The visit was the second monitoring inspection since the school was judged to
require improvement following the section 5 inspection in March 2013.
Some highlights from the report include:
- Achievement and progress have considerably improved in nearly all year groups since the last monitoring inspection visit.
- Parents, pupils, teachers and governors all agree that the school is improving rapidly.
- Pupils in nearly all year groups are making better progress in English and mathematics.
- The most able pupils in Year 6 are preparing for Level 6 test papers in mathematics, clearly demonstrating raised expectations and a greater sense of confidence.
- Middle leaders responsible for mathematics and English have gained confidence, but need to develop greater skills in measuring, analysing and evaluating pupils’ progress in all year groups.
- Pupils enjoy immersing themselves in inspiring fiction and non-fiction books in order to prepare for their own writing.
- Improvements in teachers’ marking of writing are now thoroughly established.
- In nearly all classes additional adults are making a positive contribution to pupils’ improved progress.
- Nearly all classrooms are cheerful and equipped with useful resources so that pupils can access what they need to make good progress.
- Hampshire local authority continues to provide a good level of support for the school, including in English and mathematics.
