Catholic Schools Inspectorate Report

Cheadle Catholic Infant School was inspected by the Catholic Schools Inspectorate (CSI) on the 22nd and 23rd of April 2026.

We are absolutely delighted to finally share the official report with you, which has judged Cheadle Catholic Infant School to be Outstanding in all areas.

Inspection Ratings:

The inspectors evaluated three key areas, and we are proud to share that we received the highest possible grading in each:

Catholic Life and Mission: Outstanding
Religious Education: Outstanding
Collective Worship: Outstanding


We are immensely proud of this report, which reflects the dedication of our staff, the spirit of our children, and the strength of our community. Our school is truly blessed with a team that works tirelessly every day to love, care for, and educate our pupils.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to you, our parents, for your continued support. The inspectors noted that they have never received such a high volume of responses to their questionnaire and that the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Your partnership is what makes our school family so special.

Above all, we want to thank our amazing children. During the inspection, they shone brightly, sang their hearts out, and demonstrated clearly how loved and cared for they feel within our school walls. They are the heartbeat of everything we do.

Pupils from Early years onwards are able to say that God loves them, and in this they feel confident and secure. Pupils know that they are safe in school. They treat others, teachers and visitors with respect.’

We hope you enjoy reading the full report and sharing in this wonderful achievement for our school.
