Ofsted judgement
Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic High School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic High School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic High School (closed August 2026)
