Ofsted judgement
St Patrick's Catholic Voluntary Academy has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in November 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was St Patrick's Catholic Voluntary Academy. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: St Patrick's Catholic Voluntary Academy (closed October 2026)

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
