school. Most of you said in your questionnaires that you learn a lot in lessons and that the adults explain how to improve your work. Because most of you know your writing and mathematics targets you have a really clear idea of what to do to improve your work. Inspectors have asked your teachers to make sure you all know your targets very well so that you all can improve even more quickly in these subjects. You can help your headteacher and the staff to make this good school even better by continuing to behave well and trying as hard as you can. I wish you all the very best for the future.

To help your teachers make the school as good as it can be we have asked them to give you more time to work on your own or in small groups so you can investigate things for yourself and to make sure the work is at the right level of challenge to move your learning on quickly, especially those of you who find learning easier. We have also asked them to give the children in the Reception classes more opportunities to choose their own activities.

Rawmarsh, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, S62 6JY

Inspection of St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Rotherham, S62 6JY

St Joseph’s is a satisfactory school, but it is improving all the time. You generally make satisfactory progress in your work, but progress is much better in the upper Key Stage 2 classes and pupils in Year 6 reach the standards we would expect them to reach. The teaching you receive is satisfactory overall, but there are examples in the Reception class of good teaching and there is also some good and outstanding teaching in both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. You behave well in lessons and around school and are very polite to visitors. You teachers and all the other grown- ups look after you well and you feel safe in school as a result. Some of you thought it would be a good idea if the school divided the playground so that larger pupils did not bump into smaller ones!

Thank you for welcoming the inspectors to your school. We enjoyed meeting you and talking with you. We found that Blackburn Primary is a good school.

It was very clear that from what you said and the responses from your parents and carers in their questionnaires that you are happy at school, feel safe and are learning exceptionally well. We know, because you told us, that you appreciate the staff because they provide you with outstanding care, guidance and support throughout your time in school.
