Catholic Schools Inspectorate – Outstanding in Every Area!

We are delighted and incredibly proud to share the outcome of our recent Catholic Schools Inspectorate inspection, which took place on 30th September and 1st October 2026.

OLOR was judged Outstanding in every area, including Catholic Life and Mission, Religious Education and Collective Worship. We also received an Outstanding judgement for our overall effectiveness.

This is a wonderful achievement for our whole school community and reflects the dedication of our children, staff, leaders, governors, families and parish. Above all, the report celebrates a loving Catholic community where Christ is at the heart of all we do and every child is known, valued and supported to flourish.

Please find the full report below. 

Thank you to our OLOR family

This Outstanding judgement belongs to our whole community. We would like to thank our children, staff, families, governors and parish for the faith, love, dedication and support they bring to Our Lady of the Rosary.

Our mission continues to guide us:
Our Journey: Love God, Others First, Respect All and Persevere to Succeed.
