St Peter and St Paul Catholic Voluntary Academy is currently rated as requiring improvement in overall effectiveness, with the quality of education being a key area of concern. Despite notable strengths in behaviour, attitudes, and leadership where they received good ratings, the inconsistency in curriculum delivery hampers student achievement. The school, which is part of Our Lady Of Lourdes Catholic Multi-Academy Trust, has undergone improvements since its last inspection but has not fully addressed gaps in students' learning and attendance issues, which are significant areas for development.
