A school where ‘pupils do not achieve well in several subjects’ has been ordered to improve by the education watchdog. Ofsted found children at St Joseph’s RC Primary School, in Stockport, worked hard, behaved well and felt they were part of a ‘happy family’ - enjoying ‘caring relationships’ with staff.
But officials say the Etchells Street school ‘requires improvement’ despite its ‘high expectations for pupils’ work and conduct'. A new inspection report reads: “Leaders are ambitious for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
"However, pupils do not achieve well in several subjects. This is because leaders have not ensured that the curriculum is designed and delivered as well as it should be.”
