Section 48

Every school in the Archdiocese of Liverpool is inspected under Section 48 of the Education Act 2005. These inspections evaluate the Catholic life of the school, the provision and quality of collective worship, as well as all areas of RE. This inspection process helps ensure that all Catholic schools continue to develop in order to fulfil their mission of making Christ known. The Section 48 Inspection, therefore, complements Ofsted Inspections, but should be seen as dealing with matters fundamental to the Catholic school which are not inspected by Ofsted.

The Inspection focuses on the three following areas:

• Catholic Life and Mission
• Curriculum Religious Education
• Collective Worship
