St Paul's Steiner School is performing well overall with a 'good' rating across all areas of inspection. Leaders have ensured all independent school standards are met and have a clear understanding of the school's strengths and areas for improvement. Pupils demonstrate outstanding personal and social development, and exhibit excellent behaviour and respectful attitudes. The curriculum is rich and varied, and the early years provision prepares children effectively for their future education. However, attendance rates remain below the national average, and there are some inconsistencies in teachers' use of assessment to inform instruction.
