We are delighted to share that English Martyrs’ Catholic Voluntary Academy has been recognised as a nurturing, inclusive and faith-filled school where pupils thrive. The school provides a good quality of education, with high expectations for all, strong teaching in reading and mathematics, and effective support for pupils’ personal, spiritual and academic development. Pupils feel safe, happy and valued, relationships across the school are positive, and leaders are committed to continuous improvement so that every child can grow in confidence, achieve well and contribute to school life and the wider community.

Diocesan Canonical Inspection

Diocesan Canonical Inspections (DCI, section 48) enable the Church to assess systematically the work of Catholic schools. They also provide an opportunity to support, challenge, evaluate and promote this vital work in the mission of the Church.

The purpose of inspection is to assist the school in its continuing work of self-evaluation through the identification of particular strengths, of areas requiring further improvement, and of progress made since the last inspection.

Please find our most recent inspection here from March 2024.
