Headteacher’s Welcome Message
I am extremely proud to introduce and welcome you to St Oscar Romero’s Catholic School.
Our aim is simple, we want to be the best school in the country. This means that we can ‘hand on heart’ say that our students get a better deal than if they attended another school.
In September 2024, we opened our new Sixth Form and welcomed our first cohort of Year 11 students. Any student who joins us would be starting a 7-year journey in which they will be supported and challenged to achieve their God-given potential.
Academic outcomes at St Oscar Romero are outstanding. This year, 87% of students achieved a Grade 4 (equivalent to a C grade) in English and Maths. We also saw a record number of students achieve straight Grades 7, 8 and 9, equivalent A*/A grades, in all subjects.
In April 2025, we were judged by Ofsted as ‘Outstanding’ in every category. The report was overwhelmingly positive about the school and stated “This is a highly aspirational school where pupils truly thrive”. Our last Diocesan Section 48 inspection took place in 2025, which also judged the school as ‘Outstanding’ in every category. Both Outstanding judgements were a first for the school and a proud moment in the school’s history.
As a Catholic School, St Oscar Romero’s is founded on Gospel values. We provide a nurturing environment of love, respect and discipline, where every individual is highly valued and our care and concern for others is central to our mission. We expect our students to work hard, behave well, dress smartly and pursue excellence in all that they do inside and outside of the classroom. Our culture is one of high expectations in all that we do.
We do not have a catchment area, all applications are ranked according to the category your child comes under in our Admissions Policy (see school website) and then distance within each category to the school.
Mr Byrne
