Inspections

Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in October 2008.

We were delighted to be classed as a good school with many outstanding features. Here are some quotes from the report:

  • The strong Catholic ethos securely underpins the excellent care provided for pupils and their outstanding spiritual, moral and social development.
  • Pupils are confident and show considerable maturity in the way they tackle their work and discuss issues important to them.
  • Pupils feel very safe and secure at school and work together very well to support one another.
  • Parents are overwhelmingly supportive of the school and many think it is a 'fantastic school'.
  • Pupils' behaviour is outstanding.
