About St Thomas More Roman Catholic Primary School
This is an outstanding school. In the words of one staff member, 'I feel privileged to work in such an outstanding school as St Thomas More.' Pupils achieve very well.
Standards reached by all pupils by the end of Year 6 are very high compared to those reached by pupils in other schools. Outstanding teaching over time enables pupils to make good or better progress in all subjects. As a result, all groups, regardless of their level of ability, special educational needs or background, are doing very well throughout the school.
Pupils, parents and carers are proud of their school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary and they say they feel very safe. Pupils have a matu...re attitude towards their learning.
They are polite and courteous, and readily accept responsibility. The headteacher provides excellent direction for the school to improve. She identifies areas for improvement accurately and acts quickly to deal with them.
Teachers are skilled at planning challenging, interesting activities where pupils learn in meaningful everyday ways. Teachers' marking makes sure that pupils know how to improve the quality of their work. Children receive a good start to school life in the Early Years Foundation Stage where they are taught well by a highly committed team.
Leadership and management at all levels, including governance, are outstanding. The headteacher regularly and thoroughly checks that all teaching is helping all pupils make at least good progress. Leaders set demanding targets to make sure that the school carries on improving.
