Dear Parent/Carer

I have received the final copy of the Ofsted report from the Section 5 inspection of Blessed George Napier on 8-9 March 2012.  This inspection was carried out under the new framework which came into force on 1 January 2012.  This is a far more stringent framework to be assessed under and cannot be compared to schools inspected under the previous framework.

I am very pleased that BGN has been judged good in every category.  There are outstanding comments in the section evidence.  The lead inspector was pleased with what he saw at BGN.  He commented that the behaviour of students around school and at break was outstanding.  He was also impressed with the quality of learning and spiritual development of students in lessons and the way that our teachers enable this to happen.

The RE teaching was not assessed in the Section 5 inspection as this will happen in the Section 48 inspection by the Archdiocese on 9-10 May 2012.  

This really good report is a fitting tribute to the hard work and vision of all involved with BGN since the last inspection, particularly my predecessor Mrs Catherine Weaver.

As a school, we will strive, as always, to help all our children excel as people.  I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Fraser Long
Headteacher
