Inspections

Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in March 2020. We were very pleased that the overall inspection judgment was that St. Chad's continues to be a good school.

Some of the comments in the report included:

• Pupils are happy in this caring school. They enjoy coming to school and learn to respect others.
• Pupils are confident, articulate learners.
• The appointment of the executive headteacher in January 2020 has brought renewed energy to the school.
• Pupils learn to think of others and they fundraise for those less fortunate than themselves.
• Workshops for parents are helping to share information about the new curriculum.
