You and your leadership team have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Since taking over the headship of the school in 2013 you have continued to secure improvements ensuring that Our Lady of Compassion Catholic Primary School remains a purposeful place in which to learn, underpinned by its strong and distinctive Catholic ethos. You have an accurate view of the school’s strengths and areas for development. Consequently, you have focused on the correct improvement priorities and taken decisive, effective action to address areas of weakness. An example of this is the improvements you have made to provision in the early years ensuring children get off to a really strong start. These improvements have seen standards rise significantly in the early years over the last three years. Your improvement priorities are sharply focused on improving the quality of teaching, learning and assessment in all key stages. As a result, standards and support for pupils continue to improve and pupils’ progress is accelerating. You and your staff have taken effective steps to address the areas for improvement identified at the time of the previous inspection. You have strengthened the leadership team by supporting subject leaders to become more focused on pupils’ The information contained within this draft letter should not be shared or published under any circumstances.
