Section 48 Inspection Reports

 

When a church school is inspected by OFSTED a parallel inspection occurs which focuses on aspects of the school which make it distinctive as a church school. These inspections occur every three years. The overall purpose of this SIAS inspection (also known as Section 48) is to answer the question: ‘How distinctive and effective is the school as a church school?’ The inspection and ensuing report comment on and grade four key questions:

 

• How well does the school, through its distinctive Christian character, meet the needs of all learners?
• What is the impact of collective worship on the school community?
• How effective is religious education?
• How effective are the leadership and management of the school, as a church school?

The purpose of Catholic School Inspection (CSI) under Canon Law and Section 48/50 is to report to and advise the Bishop of the Diocese on the quality of classroom religious education and the Catholic life of the school. Inspection also provides an opportunity to inform parents/carers and the wider community on the quality of religious education and celebrate the school’s efficacy as a Catholic community. Inspections are undertaken by inspectors nationally trained by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate.
