Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in May 2023. We were very pleased that the overall inspection judgment was that St. Chad's is a good school with outstanding personal development.

Some of the comments in the report included:

  • Pupils’ physical and mental health are taken seriously by leaders. Pupils can discuss their worries and feelings with trusted adults.
  • Leaders are committed to improving the learning experiences of pupils. This is now realised through a well-constructed and ambitious curriculum.
