Following our Catholic School’s inspection at the beginning of May 2025, I would like to share with you the outcome and report issued by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate on behalf of the Bishop of the Diocese Arundel and Brighton. 

The inspection covers three main areas: Catholic Life and Mission, Religious Education and Collective Worship that contribute to an overall effectiveness grade for the quality of Catholic education provided by the school.  I am delighted to announce that we received a grade 1 (outstanding) for every subcategory resulting in an outstanding judgement for overall effectiveness.

Clearly, this is great news for our school, for the community and for the quality of Catholic education in the area.  I would like to thank and pay tribute to all of our staff for their dedication in delivering the outcomes stated above. 

Special thanks go to our RE team and Chaplaincy, led by Tom Sellars.  Thank you to all families for your ongoing support for the school, your child and the partnership we enjoy.  Finally, thank you to all our young people who we all devote so much time and energy too, but who make the community at St Peter’s the special place it is to study, work and pray.

Whilst we are very proud of the outcome, we always endeavour to pursue our mission to be ‘Christ to all’ and ensure your children receive the very best experience now and in the future.

God bless.
