Section 48 Report - December 2025
We are delighted to share the outcomes of our recent Section 48 inspection, which recognised St George’s Catholic Primary School as Outstanding in Catholic Life and Mission, with an overall judgement of Good. This report is a wonderful affirmation of the strong sense of faith, belonging and community that underpins daily life at our school.
Inspectors highlighted the way our pupils live out the school mission with confidence and pride, describing them as “living ambassadors” who demonstrate moral responsibility, respect for others and a deep sense of belonging. Particularly moving was the recognition of pupils’ own words — that they feel they “have the right to be themselves” — reflecting a culture where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to flourish. The report also praised the dedication of staff, strong leadership and governance, and the inclusive, welcoming environment that ensures all pupils, including those with additional needs, can thrive.
We are immensely proud of our whole school community — pupils, staff, families, parish and governors — whose commitment and partnership make St George’s such a special place. This report encourages us to continue building on our strengths as we move forward together, guided by our mission and faith.
