What the school inspection says

“Strong Catholic values underpin all aspects of the school’s work. The culture includes celebrating diversity, ensuring equity and striving for excellence. This fosters a strong sense of belonging where all members of the school community feel safe, valued and supported. Leaders have high expectations, know the school well and build strong links with the wider community. The school’s provision meets the needs of all pupils, including its most vulnerable pupils, well. This contributes significantly to their wellbeing and enjoyment in learning. Effective teaching in many lessons helps pupils make at least sound progress in developing their knowledge, understanding and skills.”

2025
*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
