Catholic School Inspection

Religious Education Inspection

Catholic Schools Inspectorate report on behalf of the Archbishop of Birmingham 26-27 March 2025 and we were delighted that our school was judged to be a very good Catholic school with an outstanding Catholic life.

What the school does well

  • The school has a welcoming, inclusive, and supportive Catholic ethos, ensuring that everyone within its multifaith community is valued and respected for who they are as members of God’s family.
  • The school is a sanctuary for pupils whose circumstances have made them the most vulnerable due to the staff’s dedication to providing exemplary pastoral care. They ensure that every pupil feels loved, valued, and secure, which enhances their overall well-being and achievement.
  • Leaders are inspiring examples of faith and have embedded a supportive and positive culture where the whole community can thrive.
  • Pupils enjoy their religious education lessons; they are enthusiastic and engaged in their learning.
  • The prayer and liturgy policy is well-planned and effective, enabling staff and pupils to expect progression in participation skills over time.
