What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 January 2025

This warm and welcoming school is driven by its vision for pupils to be 'confident, complete and loving individuals'. This strong moral purpose underpins learning. Pupils are highly respectful and courteous. They conduct themselves with maturity and embody the values of the school. Pupils enjoy their learning. They are happy and safe. Charity work is at the heart of the school and pupils lead impressive initiatives to raise money and awareness for a range of charities. This includes local charity work for the homeless led by the school's 'Caritas ambassadors'. Pupils enjoy numerous opportunities to lead. They can become house captains, well-being ambassadors, digital apostles or join the school council or liturgy team. In these roles, they both support each other and the wider school community. For example, junior traffic ambassadors accompany the police to monitor traffic on their local roads and the green team lead green patrols and litter picking. As a result, pupils have a keen sense of responsibility. The school provides an ambitious curriculum. This begins in early years, where strong foundations are built. Pupils achieve very well. This is because the school has high academic ambitions for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).

What the school should improve

  • The school does not check pupils' understanding effectively across all subjects. Sometimes, pupils do not fully understand concepts that prepare them for the more complex ideas that come later in the curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers routinely check that pupils' understanding is secure before moving them on to learning more complex content.
