Latest Catholic School Inspection Report
No limits... Just possibilities
In November 2019, the Bishops’ Conference unanimously agreed to a National Framework for the Inspection of Catholic Schools, Colleges and Academies. This provided, inter alia, for all inspectors to be accredited, on behalf of every diocesan bishop, in accordance with a nationally agreed protocol approved by the Department of Education and Formation, to inspect in any diocese.
Under Canon Law, the Bishop is responsible for overseeing the provision and quality of Religious Education, Prayer and Liturgy and Catholic Life in each Catholic School in his Diocese. This responsibility is delegated to the Diocesan Education Service and the Catholic Schools Inspectorate.
St Joseph's were last inspected in December 2019 and we were graded Outstanding in all areas of Catholic Life, Religious Education and Prayer and Liturgy.
