As a Catholic School, we are subject to two main benchmark inspections.

Firstly there is the Standard Ofsted inspection that covers all aspects of school life and provision, and is used as one of the main measurements of school performance.

The Catholic Education Service also completes an inspection of the school form a standpoint of focus on the provision of Religious Education to ensure that as a diocese school, we are providing an environment and curriculum that supports the wider objectives.
