Inspection Reports

Our school is subject to inspections by Ofsted and the Catholic Schools Inspectorate.

Ofsted

Ofsted (the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) is the independent organisation responsible for inspecting and regulating schools in England. Its purpose is to ensure that children receive a high-quality education and that schools provide a safe, supportive and effective learning environment.

During an inspection, Ofsted evaluates the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. Inspectors speak with pupils, staff and leaders, visit lessons and review a range of evidence to gain an understanding of the school's strengths and areas for development.

At St Augustine of Canterbury RC Primary School, we view inspection as an opportunity to celebrate our achievements, reflect on our practice and continue our journey of school improvement. We remain committed to providing the very best education and opportunities for all our pupils.

Catholic Schools Inspectorate (CSI)

What is CSI?

The Catholic Schools Inspectorate (CSI) is responsible for inspecting Catholic schools on behalf of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. These inspections focus on how effectively a school fulfils its Catholic mission and promotes the religious and spiritual development of its pupils.

During a CSI inspection, inspectors evaluate the school's Catholic life and mission, religious education, and collective worship. They consider how Gospel values are lived out throughout the school community and how the school supports pupils in developing their faith and understanding of Catholic Social Teaching.

At St Augustine of Canterbury RC Primary School, our Catholic faith is at the heart of everything we do. CSI inspections provide an opportunity to celebrate our mission, our partnership with St John Paul II Parish, and the many ways in which pupils, staff and families live out our shared values each day.

Both Ofsted and CSI inspections help us to maintain high standards and ensure that every child receives an education that allows them to flourish academically, spiritually, socially and emotionally.
