The Academy of St Nicholas receives high praise following Denominational Inspection

The Academy of St Nicholas, Garston, has received a ‘Good’ judgement following a recent Denominational Inspection under the Section 48 of the Education Act 2005.

The Section 48 inspection, which evaluates the effectiveness of a school’s religious education, collective worship, and overall ethos, commended the joint Catholic and Church of England academy and judged it good in all areas.

The report remarked: “The academy remains a significantly improving community with tangible and measured success in its Christian mission and vision both within school and in its links with home, parishes, and church communities in the wider area. This is a school committed to its gospel values of service to others through respect, ambition, resilience, and compassion.”

The academy, which is a proud member of All Saints Multi Academy Trust, was praised for its distinctive Christian nature and noted that it is good at meeting the needs of all learners, and the school articulates its Christian character outstandingly.

‘Good’ Ofsted rating in 2023 – the first in the 13-year history of a school occupying the Horrocks Avenue site. This transformational journey is a testament to the dedicated leadership team and the invaluable support and guidance from All Saints Multi Academy Trust.
