Religious Education Inspection

Our last Catholic School Inspection, carried out under Section 48 of the Education Act, was in July 2023. 

The report concluded that: 

• Catholic Life and Mission - Outstanding 
• RE - Good 
• Collective Worship (Prayer and Liturgy) - Outstanding

Some comments from the report were as follows:

• Our Lady’s lives out its mission very well as a Catholic school with Christ firmly at its heart.
• Catholic social teaching is taught across the entire school curriculum. All staff take responsibility for weaving it into every aspect of school life.
• There is a powerful sense of community, belonging, and commitment to the mission. The example and personal witness of the head teacher inspire this.
• The liturgical year and rich pattern of daily prayer drive the rhythm of school life.
• Meticulous care and attention towards the inward and outward signs of the Catholic school create a dignified and spiritual space to work, learn, and pray.

Our school underwent its most recent Ofsted Inspection in February 2024. Our Lady's Catholic Primary School remains a good school.

As a school community, we are proud of our school and this is reflected in the report. 

We are committed to providing the very best education for all pupils as we continue on our journey ensuring the whole school community flourishes.

Some comments from the report were as follows:

• Positive and caring relationships are at the heart of this school. 
• Staff model the school's high behaviour expectations consistently. This is evident in how beautifully pupils behave and how kindly they talk about each member of the school community. 
• Mutual respect is commonplace and a praiseworthy feature of the school. 
• The school has introduced innovative and exciting ways to engage pupils with their learning. 
• Pupils with SEND are identified quickly. The school does all it can to ensure these pupils are fully involved in the life of the school. 
• The school provides a wealth of opportunities for pupils to develop into caring and active citizens of the future. 
• The school is led with drive and compassion.
