Ofsted judgement
St Theresa's RC Primary School, a Voluntary Academy has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in July 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was St. Theresa's RC Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
