Section 48 Inspection Report

Our last Section 48 Inspection took place in February 2026. The report celebrated both our Catholic life and the quality of our religious education, recognising the strength of our community and the way faith is lived out each day at Our Lady of the Rosary. It reflected how our mission of “Joy, Excellence, Service” is visible in daily school life and in the witness of our pupils and staff.

Inspectors highlighted:

• Catholicity shines at the heart of school life, with pupils confidently and comfortably living out their faith each day
• The strong bond between school and parish enables a shared mission of Catholic education and joy of service.
• Pupils display an exceptionally positive attitude to their learning, and as a result, behaviour is exemplary.
• Pupils have excellent religious literacy.
• The rhythm of daily prayer, worship and celebration shapes pupils' sense of belonging, enabling them to recognise God’s presence in everyday life.
