Will moving close to the school help if at all.

@JayD12 email them to find out. Some catholic school are flexible about which parish you practice in as long as you bring the CCP from the priest. Many have selected parishes.

Yes I was checking it out but Ofsted shows only GOOD .Dunno if that's enough as my son is a grammar school cleared in Bucks only we didnt move.
Any info on Duoay Martyrs?

The Ofsted rating is not a measure of how academic it is; it's a measure of how well it is delivering for the pupils who attend (and is a crude rating which should be taken with a pinch or two of salt).
Also beware judging by attainment scores - they'll be heavily influenced by the intake. You need to know whether your child will get the results they are capable of, not how many other children are performing at the same level.
If you want to know how well a school caters for the abler pupils, dig down into their value-added data, on https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/ - look for "results by pupil characteristics".

Search for schools, colleges and multi-academy trusts - Compare school and college performance data in England - GOV.UK

You can find schools and colleges in your area. You can also view exam and test results, financial details and Ofsted reports.

Gunnersbury Boys is an excellent Catholic school which is worth considering.
