St Antony's Roman Catholic School has been rated as requiring improvement in overall effectiveness, marking its first inspection under the current framework since converting to an academy in 2020. Although there have been positive changes in leadership and curriculum over the last two years, the impact on pupil achievement is still developing. While pupils behave well and enjoy a supportive environment, not all students are reaching their potential, particularly in some subjects and for older pupils. The school is also commended for its strong personal development and extra-curricular offerings.
