What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 June 2025

Pupils are, rightly, incredibly proud to be part of this nurturing, inclusive school which is at the very heart of the community it serves. They enjoy attending each day and living up to the high expectations set by the school. Pupils achieve highly. Behaviour across school is exemplary. It is rooted in 'The St John Bosco way' - a shared ethos that is woven through school life. Staff and pupils consistently uphold the values of the school. This creates a calm, respectful and ambitious environment where pupils thrive. Pupils take on responsibilities across school with pride. Whether through classroom jobs, being part of the junior leadership team, a member of the 'FABs' team (friends against bullying), or a host of other important roles. Pupils here really do make a difference. They learn valuable life skills and contribute to the life of school and their community. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities available in school. Clubs, trips and enrichment activities are carefully designed to develop talents and broaden horizons. They prepare pupils exceptionally well for their next stages of education and life beyond school. St John Bosco is a joyful place to learn and grow, where every child is known, supported and celebrated.
