Ofsted inspection
Short (ungraded) inspection, 12 October 2023: School remains Outstanding. It was inspected as Bonus Pastor Catholic College, before the school changed (for example, became an academy).
From Ofsted's published inspection data (Open Government Licence). Report cards and older grades use different scales, so they can't be compared directly.
