Inspection Reports 

Catholic Schools Inspection

Inspectors visited our school in September 2023 and found that the quality of Catholic education provided by the school, our Catholic Life and Mission, Collective Worship and Religious Education were all Good.

“Students show respect to their peers and adults, and this is evident in recreational as well as structured time… The school has an inclusive and welcoming Catholic culture.”

“Like the students, staff understand the school’s core values... [There is a] tangible sense of community among the staff.”

“The model for prayer and liturgy is exceptionally strong. This is making a lasting impact on the formation of students as well as staff.”

"There is a sense of positive renewal about the school… The school has successfully placed Catholic life and mission at the centre, deriving the energy for improvement from the Word of God.”
