All Hallows Catholic School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 November 2025

Pupils value the kindness and support they receive from staff every day. They feel listened to, knowing that they are recognised as individuals who have their own talents, interests and needs. Staff take time to identify the help each pupil requires to achieve highly, both academically and personally. This ensures that pupils feel safe and included in the school community. Pupils keenly study and achieve highly across a breadth of different subjects. These ready them for the next stages of their education. To enhance their learning, pupils eagerly participate in the many different extracurricular opportunities on offer. School trips enhance pupils' knowledge and skills, as well as providing experiences that they recollect fondly. Pupils are supported to explore their responsibilities as active citizens and their place in society. An array of visitors from different faiths support this learning, as well as the reflection opportunities pupils have to explore their own beliefs and identity. Across all year groups, pupils keenly describe the sense of belonging that permeates across the school. Pupils' attendance is high. The very small number of pupils who need additional help to attend regularly benefit from bespoke support. This includes the care provided by staff in 'The Ark' that helps many pupils to learn and flourish.

What the school should improve

• Leaders and those responsible for governance should sustain the effectiveness of their work in all areas. They should seek continued improvement, overcoming barriers and challenges, in order to drive a transformational impact for all pupils. This includes disadvantaged pupils, those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, those who are known (or previously known) to children's social care, and those who may face other barriers to their learning and/or wellbeing.
