Section 48 inspections
An academy like St Mary’s is defined under the School Standards and Framework Act 1998 as having a religious character. Consequently, religious education and the content of collective worship are inspected under section 48 of the Education Act 2005. The inspectors who conduct section 48 inspections are drawn from the Education Commission's section 48 inspectorate.
