St Anne’s: Ofsted Summary
Why is St Anne’s in Special Measures?

Achievement is poor. Progress is inconsistent

Some weak teaching observed and over a sustained period of time will be the
cause of insufficient progress in writing

The more able do not make sufficient progress because tracking has been
poor over time

Progress for those who are eligible for the pupil premium is poor

In some classes at times differentiation is poor and pace of learning is slow

Issues with the number of Headteachers and monitoring by Governors
