The Religious Education aspect of the school was inspected in October 2016 (S48).
This is what the inspector said about our school:
Our Lady of Fatima School provides an outstanding Catholic education for all its pupils. Catholic Life is outstanding and inclusive, with prominence given to Catholic values. It provides an ideal environment for all to develop in faith. Collective worship is a strong, integral part of the life of the school. The prayer life of the school is excellent and beneficial to all pupils, individually and collectively. The pupils’ sense of vocation, what God wants them to be, is outstanding, a striking feature of the school’s Catholic Life. They are able, and willing, to talk freely about their faith and its importance in their own lives. Behaviour around the school is exemplary, with high expectations and appropriate attitudes demonstrated by all staff. Spiritual and moral development is a priority in school; there is an all-encompassing ethos which values all equally, and to which all pupils respond with generosity and understanding.
