Inspection Reports & Exam Results

St Mary’s had its last full Inspection in October 2023.

We are delighted that, at their last visit in October 2023, Ofsted graded us as a ‘Good’ School in all five inspection areas (Quality of Education, Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Sixth-form, and Leadership and Management). In his verbal feedback the Lead Inspector said he was “Very excited for the future of the school”.

The report is full of excellent comments about the school, some of which we share below:

“The school has a well-designed, ambitious curriculum. This is evident in the good quality of pupils’ learning demonstrated in lessons and in their books.”

“Pupils live up to leaders’ expectations of their behaviour. Pupils follow the well-established routines in lessons and usually focus on learning.” 

“Pupils are proud of their school. Those in attendance at the previous inspection notice and speak positively about improvements happening at their school. ”

“Pupils speak confidently about reaching their career aspirations because the school prepares them well for adult life.” 

“Pupils behave well and treat each other with kindness.”

“Pupils are taught how to live healthy lifestyles.”

“The school supports pupils well to maintain positive mental health while dealing with whatever issues they face.”

“Governors carry out their duties well. They hold leaders to account effectively for the school’s work.”

“Safeguarding is effective.”

St Mary’s had its last SIAMS (Church Schools) inspection in January 2020. The school was judged to be a ‘Good Church’ School that is “an exceptionally inclusive and caring community”. Like all church schools, St Mary’s is due for the next church school inspection within five years of the previous one.

The Governors and staff of St Mary’s continue to have a very strong commitment to ensuring an outstanding quality of provision and outcomes for students.
