Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle
Every Catholic school of whatever kind is subject to a Diocesan Inspection. This inspection is required and regulated by canon law. Voluntary Aided (VA) Catholic schools are also subject to a statutory inspection of denominational education and collective worship under section 48 (S48) of the Education Act 2005. Catholic Academies are subject to a denominational inspection which is regulated by the Academy Funding Agreement for each academy.
For all Catholic VA schools and Academies, the Diocesan Inspection outcome and report will serve as either the S48 outcome and report in the case of a VA school, or as the inspection outcome and report required by the Academy Funding Agreement. In short, all Catholic schools of whatever kind will be subject to both S5 and Diocesan inspections.
Our most recent inspection was in July 2023:
