SS Peter and Paul Catholic Primary Academy and Nursery near Whitmore Reans was visited by the education watchdog for an ungraded inspection in November of last year.

Lead Ofsted inspector Cathy Young found the school had "taken effective action to maintain the standards" identified at its last graded inspection in 2019, where it was concluded to be "Good".

The report said: "This is a school that is at the heart of its community. Relationships between staff, pupils, parents and carers are very strong. Every pupil is cherished and supported well to ‘dream big’. 

"There are high expectations for all pupils to achieve academically and personally. Pupils live up to these high expectations."
