S48 Inspection 2023

Summary of key findings, What the school does well: 

• The leaders of the school, especially the head teacher, are deeply committed to the Catholic life and mission of the whole school community, putting this at the centre of all their decisions and working hard to improve it.
• There is a genuinely warm and caring atmosphere, where all feel welcome, valued and loved.
• Pupils are very well behaved in lessons and during worship. They are equally well behaved in the corridors, on the playground, and at other times when they are not directly supervised.
• Pastoral care and support for pupils and families, offered by experienced and dedicated staff, is especially effective, and is greatly appreciated by those who most need it. 
• The school enjoys a flourishing partnership with the local parish community, and works actively with other schools in the Trust, and with the wider diocesan community.
