Ofsted inspected the Academy in January 2018. Inspectors acknowledged the hard work and commitment of the Senior Leadership Team, Staff and Governors. ‘Leaders have worked tirelessly, often under difficult circumstances, to improve the school. Many significant issues have been addressed, including those associated with finance, staffing and with the structures required for a school to function well. Their actions have been effective and the school has improved.’ (Ofsted January 2018)
The recent Diocesan Canonical Inspection in June 2018 judged the Academy to be a ‘Good Catholic School’.
The school is at the heart of a strong community working together to ensure that St Philip Howard is the school of choice in Glossop and the surrounding areas: #Team SPH is dedicated to providing the best possible outcomes for all the pupils at St Philip Howard.
‘Leaders ensure that pupils experience a full range of experiences outside of the school day. The Catholic ethos permeates the school’s work and pupils have many opportunities to be involved in their community and to support those in need. Pupils fundraise; for example, the gratitude club raises funds for the less fortunate within the local area.’ (Ofsted January 2018)

The department achieves consistently good results. This year they achieved:
82% - Grade 4 -9
