Catholic Schools Inspectorate (CSI) Inspection

Our last RE Inspection from the Catholic Schools Inspectorate was in June 2025, when our RE provision was judged to be outstanding in all areas.

Some of the comments from the report included:

  • [St. Gerard’s] proudly proclaims its Catholic nature and ethos through outreach and partnership with the parish and wider community.
  • There is a deeply felt and lived understanding by all pupils, staff, and governors of the obligations of Catholic social teaching and the theology behind it.
  • [St. Gerard’s] provides a welcoming, inclusive, safe, joyous, loving, and nurturing environment for pupils, staff, parents, and the wider community.
  • Rapid progress and impressive levels of attainment in religious education for all pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is secured through consistently outstanding teaching, which both challenges and supports all pupils.
  • The wide range of prayer in every aspect of school life and the modelling of excellent leadership by staff develop in all pupils the skills to plan, evaluate and review prayer and liturgy at a level which is well beyond that which might be expected at their age.
