In Particular, to extract a few points, the report states:

There is a calm and respectful atmosphere within the school and all members of the community live out the mission, ‘Love one another as I have loved you’.
There are strong links between the school and parishes and this ensures all are supported in their faith journey.
The religious education department is well led with a clear vision and the expertise to secure this vision.
The generosity of the wider school community towards charitable causes is most impressive.
