Teacher of Art, Design Technology

Cardinal Heenan

Catholic High School is a vibrant, thriving and leading school in the local

area. (1333 on roll with a Sixth Form of

173) and our long history and excellent community links provide our students

with exceptional opportunities.

We are extremely

proud of our 2026 Ofsted inspection, which highlights Cardinal Heenan Catholic

High School as an inclusive and respectful community where pupils feel safe,

valued and supported to succeed. Inspectors described the school as “an

incredibly welcoming place where all pupils feel valued” and praised the “calm

and respectful environment,” noting that pupils are “enthusiastic participants

in lessons and school life,” benefiting from high expectations rooted in our

values of respect, believe and achieve. The report also recognises the quality

of teaching, stating that “teachers have a clear understanding of the skills

and knowledge that pupils need” and that “staff use their subject knowledge

well to adapt tasks so that all pupils… can participate in lessons.”

Inspectors

highlighted our strong commitment to inclusion, noting that leaders have

created “a highly inclusive culture where pupils are well known, cared for and

supported,” alongside a well‑planned curriculum and a broad personal

development programme that prepares pupils for life beyond school. Leadership

was commended for maintaining strong standards in behaviour and attendance and

for driving improvement, while our Catholic ethos continues to underpin the

strong sense of community identified in both this inspection and our 2023 CSI

report, which described the school’s valued “sense of family.”
