Our most RE inspection in February 2019 said that...

• The newly appointed headteacher provides exceptional leadership of the Catholic Life of the school. She inspires the whole community to live out the school’s mission. As a result, all of the staff and governors are deeply committed to improving the Catholic Life of the school.
• The development of Catholic Life, Religious Education and Collective Worship is given the highest priority by the school’s leaders. It is at the forefront of all development, including the school improvement plan and staff performance management.
• The commitment of the parish priest and the headteacher ensure that the school and parish work very well together for the benefit of all.
• Pupils enter the school with a very limited knowledge in Religious Education but quickly make good progress. Consistently effective teaching means that pupils leave the school with a sound understanding of the Catholic Faith. They understand how their learning influences the way they should live their lives.
• The entire life of the school is built on a secure foundation of prayer. This allows pupils, staff and parents to experience increasingly meaningful Collective Worship.
