Oscar Romero Developer Level Award

We are thrilled to have been awarded the Oscar Romero "Developer Level" Award, building on the "Participator Award" that we received in 2020.

Only 8 schools in the country have this level of the award, out of the hundreds of Catholic Schools registered with the programme in the UK and Channel Islands. After a successful initial application, two validators came to tour the school and meet with staff, governors and children. They were very impressed with what they saw and subsequently awarded the school the "Developer Level" of the award. 

The Oscar Romero Award recognises schools that have embedded the key principles of Catholic Social Teaching in their ethos and culture, so that all can experience life to the full.

You can read the assessor's report below. A big thank you to all involved in the award- we are so pleased that OLSJ has been recognised for the work that our community carries out to promote Catholic Social Teaching across all aspects of school life. Our next step is to work towards the "Innovator" Level of the award - which no school has achieved to date! Perhaps OLSJ could be one of the first? Watch this space!
