The Catholic Life of the school is outstanding. SS Peter and Paul is a widely diverse community where all are treated with high levels of respect. The well‐ being and personal development of each pupil is at the heart of the school’s vision and is reflected in the strong sense of pastoral care. Pupils are keen to participate in the varied opportunities provided to contribute to the Catholic Life of the school and benefit greatly from them. Effective monitoring and evaluation systems are in place and result in continuing improvement to outcomes for pupils.
The quality of Collective Worship is good and pupils’ response to and participation in Collective Worship is good. The school provides a rich variety of opportunities for the pupils to pray together in classes, in phases and as a whole school.

Leaders and managers’ promotion, monitoring and evaluation of the provision of Collective Worship are good.
