St Teresa's RC Primary School

St Teresa’s RC Primary School remains a good school, providing a nurturing and supportive environment for its pupils. The school is characterized by strong relationships among staff and students, resulting in high levels of happiness and safety among pupils. The leadership is committed to a comprehensive curriculum that engages pupils and addresses their educational needs, particularly in understanding diverse societies and contributing to their community. While most pupils achieve well, a small number, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are not reaching their full potential due to gaps in resource allocation and support.

Strengths

• Strong relationships between staff and pupils foster respect and support.
• Leaders provide a broad and ambitious curriculum for all pupils.
• Effective phonics program helps pupils read fluently and accurately.
• Pupils display enthusiastic attitudes towards their learning.
• Wide variety of extracurricular clubs enhance pupils’ talents and interests.
• Effective procedures in safeguarding ensure pupil safety.

Areas for Improvement

• Some teachers occasionally do not choose appropriate resources in certain subjects.
• A very small number of pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they should due to insufficient information for staff.

Admissions: local authority offers data from the Department for Education. A school is oversubscribed when at least 5% of the families who put it first were not offered a place, and undersubscribed when everyone who put it first got in but 10% or more of its places were unfilled in the Department's school capacity survey (the latest survey is used for entry years it does not cover). Places: Department for Education, School capacity, from local authorities' annual survey as at 1 May. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024–25); the survey was not run in 2020. Places include sixth form places. Forecasts are the local authority's own for the school's planning area, an area it uses to plan places that is not the school's catchment area. The forecast starts from a head count in 2025; the dashed line is the Department's estimate of places in that area, including those the authority has firm plans for. Planned places are cumulative, and only those with firm plans are counted.

Sessions missed

Pupils persistently absent

Source: Department for Education, Pupil absence in schools in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Persistent absence means missing 10% or more of sessions; severe absence means 50% or more. No figures were published for 2019/20.

Pupils suspended at least once

Source: Department for Education, Suspensions and permanent exclusions in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). A pupil can be suspended more than once, so suspensions per 100 pupils can be higher than the share of pupils suspended. Very small numbers are hidden by the DfE. Exclusion figures dropped in 2020 and 2021 because of school closures.

Pupils per teacher

Teachers who left the school within a year

Source: Department for Education, School workforce in England. Each year is the one the school year ends in (2025 is 2024/25). Pupils per teacher counts full-time-equivalent pupils and teachers. Turnover is the share of a year's teachers (full-time equivalent) who were not at the school the following year, whether they moved to another school or left state-funded teaching. Turnover and sickness figures run one year behind the ratios. Sick leave is the share of teachers who took at least one day in the year, so it swings widely at small schools, where a few teachers can make it 0% or 100%. The national figures are for all state schools of the same type.

Pupils by main type of need

Source: Department for Education, Special educational needs in England (the 2025–26 school census). SEN support is extra help in school without an EHC plan. National figures are for all state-funded primary schools. Counts are as published, with small numbers not hidden.
