Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School received criticism from education inspectors for inconsistent management of student behaviour and insufficient teaching methods. The school's latest inspection downgraded it to 'requires improvement' in areas such as education quality, behaviour, and leadership. While most students behaved well, some were distracted, hindering their learning. Issues with understanding new curriculum resources and inadequate support for special educational needs were also noted. The school was recognized for monitoring attendance, although it struggled to evaluate the effectiveness of its interventions for disadvantaged and chronically absent students, impacting their overall achievement.
Expectations for learning behaviour are not routinely consistent. As a result, some pupils lose focus during learning activities and do not complete important work.
The school has introduced new curriculum resources in many subjects. New content is ambitious. However, staff do not understand it well.
The school was praised by inspectors for effectively identifying kids with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, support provided lacked focus.
Despite monitoring attendance and providing support, the school failed to evaluate whether this was effective for disadvantaged children and students with SEND.
