About St Richard’s Catholic Primary School, Skelmersdale
Name
St Richard’s Catholic Primary School, Skelmersdale
This highly successful school fully lives out its mission as a 'caring, family community'. Children in the Early Years Foundation Stage settle very quickly and make outstanding progress from their individual starting points. This is because of exceptional partnerships established with parents and adults in the 'wrap-around' provision.
Between Years 1 and 6, pupils' achievement is outstanding. They make outstanding progress in reading, writing and mathematics. All adults have very high expectations of all pupils and relationships are exceptional.
Even though teaching is outstanding overall, teachers do not always ensure h...igh quality marking, to help pupils to improve their learning, is applied in all subjects of the curriculum. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are exemplary. Pupils say, and their parents fully agree, that they feel completely safe.
Pupils thoroughly enjoy their lessons. The curriculum provides extremely well for the pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. Exceptional leadership at all levels, including the governors, creates a community of like-minded leaders who never settle for less than the best, not only for pupils in this school, but also for pupils in the many other schools it supports.
This continued drive to improve ensures teaching and pupils' achievement are outstanding.
