Religious Education Inspection

Our last RE Inspection was in May 2017 when our RE provision was judged to be outstanding.

 The Diocesan team noted that:

• A major strength of the school, and central to its ethos and daily activities, is an outstanding Catholic life, evident in strong committed leadership, concern for pupil welfare and spiritual development and the promotion of Catholic Christian values and virtues.
• The provision of collective worship is outstanding.
• Pupils make excellent progress in their learning and attainment, supported by an outstanding curriculum.
• St Martin de Porres is an inclusive school where children of all beliefs are welcomed and valued, and where they understand, respect and support the Catholic nature of the school.
• Spiritual, moral and vocational development is very good and often outstanding in terms of provision and impact.
