I am delighted to announce that following our recent Catholic School Inspection, St Mary’s continues to be a ‘Good’ school. This judgement was reached after a 2-day inspection on 13 & 14 March.
This outcome is testament to the tireless efforts of all staff and governors, but especially our Religious Studies team and our Chaplain, Anthony. In addition, your parental contribution as first educators in the faith, coupled with the enthusiasm pupils demonstrate for the faith life here at St Mary’s, cannot be underestimated. We very much appreciate all that you do, and hope that you can recognise the school you know in this report.
This outcome demonstrates how St Mary’s continues to thrive since its last Catholic School Inspection in June 2016. Back then, the school was unable to secure any Outstanding verdicts. This report highlights 7 out of 9 areas as being Outstanding, with both Catholic Life and Mission and Collective Worship recognised as Outstanding overall.
