St Wilfrid’s RC School in Monkgate has turned 150 years old and its birthday has been made all the more special by the publication of a glowing Catholic Schools Inspection (CSI) report.
The school received the top grade in every category – overall effectiveness, Catholic life and mission, religious education and collective worship.
Inspectors observed worship and RE lessons, examined pupils' work and performance data and talked to stakeholders.
“The leaders of the school, especially the head teacher, demonstrate exceptional commitment and effectiveness in fostering a thriving Catholic community centred on Christ,” the report says.
“The behaviour and attitudes of pupils at St Wilfrid's is outstanding, reflecting a deep commitment to the values of respect, responsibility and care for others.
“Pupils demonstrate high levels of attainment, and the work in their books is presented exceptionally well.
