Inspection Reports

St Mary's Junior school last had a formal visit from Ofsted in January 2026.

A copy of the report can be accessed below or from the Ofsted website here.

Following our Church School Inspection in March 2019, St Mary’s was judged as an Excellent Church School and that all seven strands, as well as RE, were also judged as excellent.

The key findings were that:

• St. Mary’s Christian vision underpins its work as a highly distinctive church school. It drives the work of school leaders and has a transformational impact on the lives of its pupils and their families.
• The rich, broad curriculum strongly supports the academic and social development of pupils exceptionally well.
• The skilled and determined leadership of the headteacher, strongly supported by the school’s staff and governors, has created a vibrant Christian community where pupils and adults flourish, despite any challenges encountered.
• High quality provision for religious education (RE) and collective worship strongly contributes to pupils’ spiritual development. This is further strengthened by the extremely supportive partnership that has been established between the local church and the school.
