St Mary and St Michael Primary School continues to perform well, maintaining its good status during this inspection. The school is characterized by a positive learning environment where pupils feel safe and supported. Leaders prioritize creating a strong sense of community and provide a broad curriculum that caters to all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The positive feedback from parents, staff, and pupils highlights the school's effective leadership and the successful engagement of pupils in their learning experiences. Despite its strengths, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in the delivery of the curriculum in early years. While teachers have clear long-term aims, some aspects of lesson delivery could be enhanced to better support pupils in overcoming misconceptions and building knowledge incrementally. Addressing these areas will be key for leaders as they seek to reinforce the quality of education provided by the school.
