St Boniface RC Primary School

One who does good

Section 48 Inspection Report

Our most recent Section 48 Inspection rated St Boniface RC Primary as Outstanding.
Like other state schools, faith schools are inspected regularly by Ofsted. Most are also inspected by a religious body, with the inspection focusing in particular on the impact of the school’s faith ethos.

As a Catholic School we are routinely inspected by the Catholic Diocese of Southwark – this is known as a Section 48 Inspection.
