Ofsted (the Office for Standards in Education) is the independent government body responsible for inspecting schools in England. Ofsted inspections evaluate the overall quality of education provided by a school, including leadership and management, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, safeguarding and the quality of teaching and learning.

Our Lady’s Catholic Primary School was last inspected by Ofsted in January 2022, when the school was judged to be a Good school.

Inspectors recognised the positive learning environment and strong relationships within our school community. The report highlights that:

“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.”

We are proud of this recognition and continue to work hard to ensure that every child receives a high-quality education in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment.
