Ofsted is the Government's department for measuring and maintaining good standards of education within our schools. Visits and inspections are completed to ensure that schools are providing the expected education and performing to national standards.
Our Lady's had its last Inspection in January 2022. The school was judged as a GOOD school.
Here's what the report states:
Pupils are happy and confident at Our Lady’s RC Primary School. They have enquiring minds and enjoy learning. Bullying is extremely rare. Pupils know that there are always adults to talk to and that any problems are resolved straight away. Parents and carers share their children’s enthusiasm for school.

Every school in the Archdiocese of Cardiff is inspected under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005. These inspections evaluate the Catholic life of the school, the provision and quality of collective worship, as well as all areas of RE. This inspection process helps ensure that all Catholic schools continue to develop in order to fulfil their mission.
There are two types of School Inspection. Section 5 is the OFSTED whole school Inspection and Section 48 is the RE Inspection that is carried out in schools that have a religious character. OFSTED has no remit to inspect the RE provision in a school designated as having a religious character and do not pass judgement on this area of school life in their inspection process at Our Lady's.
