As a state-funded school, OLQOH is committed to providing a high‑quality education for all pupils without charge during official school hours. There are no fees for admission or for taking part in the statutory curriculum. Any optional activities or additional services that take place outside the standard school day are offered separately and may involve a voluntary contribution.

To ensure transparency and consistency, our approach to charging, curriculum entitlement, inclusion, and wider provision is outlined in a range of school policies. These policies reflect our commitment to fairness and equal access for every child in our care.

Please find below important documents and information about our school.

DfE Financial Benchmarking

We are committed to ensuring that our resources are used effectively to provide the best possible education for our pupils. To support transparency and accountability, we take part in financial benchmarking using the Department for Education’s (DfE) Benchmarking Insight Tool.

This tool allows schools to compare their spending with similar schools, helping us to identify opportunities for efficiency and improvement. You can explore our financial benchmarking information by visiting the DfE Benchmarking Insight Tool through the link below:

Pay gap Reporting

As part of our commitment to equality, transparency, and fairness, we work in line with the Gender Pay Gap Report published by Bosco. This report provides detailed information about pay differences between male and female employees across the trust and outlines the steps being taken to promote equality and inclusivity.

This report contains the Bosco Catholic Education Trust’s standard disclosure of the gender pay gap for the multiacademy trust.  In addition, employers are required to disclose the distribution of gender by pay quartile – in other words splitting the workforce into four groups based on their pay and showing the proportion of men and women in each group. Employers are also required to disclose percentages of staff receiving bonuses by gender and the gender gap on bonuses. The Bosco Catholic Education Trust welcomes and supports gender pay gap reporting, whilst recognising that we are not immune to broader societal issues affecting women in the educational workforce. This report provides both the statutory disclosures required, as well as further context around gender pay at the Bosco Catholic Education Trust.

In line with DfE requirements, as a public body, Our Lady Queen of Heaven confirms NO member of staff receives a gross salary beyond the £100,000 cap, which would require publication.
