The school is a Good school that is outstanding in Catholic Life and Mission
What does the school do well:
- Pupils take pride and share a strong understanding of their school's identity and ethos.
- They actively reflect the school mission, ‘Celebrating Excellence through Our Faith and Learning’. They demonstrate a clear sense of belonging and willingly put their faith into action through their attitudes, choices and care for others.
- The headteacher has established a strong Catholic ethos and clear sense of identity throughout the school community. Principles of Catholic social teaching are now linked across the curriculum and are evident in the everyday life of the school.
- The school's chaplaincy provision is highly effective. Through the exemplary work of the chaplaincy team in addition to the Leaders in Faith initiative, pupils play a key role in supporting the Catholic life of the school. The chaplaincy team leader's clear vision and ambition are a driving force behind this success
