Hide AdThe report said: “The school has developed a broad, rich curriculum. The school aims for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to learn knowledge and skills appropriate to their age and relevant to their lives. Individual subjects are at varying stages of development. In the strongest subjects, such as mathematics and history, pupils achieve very well.
“Right from the start of early years, there are clear systems in place to identify children who may need additional help. Careful adaptations, and bespoke provision where necessary, ensure that pupils with SEND learn well and are included fully in the life of the school.”
The inspection also found that the school has high expectations of the children and there is a good routine in place which allows pupils to understand what is expected of them on a day to day basis. Ursula Clark, headteacher at Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School, said: “We are delighted that Ofsted recognised how pupils thrive at the school due to the wonderful work of our staff. We know that pupils are kind, respectful and strive to do their best every day; it is wonderful that this was acknowledged with pupils’ impeccable attitudes and behaviour judged to be outstanding. The school has come through challenging times but the sense of community and determination to strive for excellence for our children is strong and central to our success I am extremely proud of our school community.”

Hide AdThe report found that the safeguarding measures are effective and there is a strong culture of keeping pupils safe in and out of school. The pupils have an understanding of healthy relationships and and consent.
The report added: “To enrich learning about healthy eating, pupils enjoy sampling different foods from the variety of cultures represented in the school. Visitors from different careers introduce pupils to the world of work.
“This learning is further enhanced by pupils taking on responsibilities in school, including shadowing members of school staff. Pupils also learn the importance of looking out for those less fortunate than themselves through supporting various charities, including the local food bank.”
