ISI Report21/08/2009
Following the visit of five inspectors in March 2009, we are delighted with the Independent Schools Inspectorate Report published in June 2009. The excerpts below are just some of the inspectors’ conclusions, but the full report can be downloaded in the pdf below.
‘The educational experience offered to pupils is outstandingly successful in reflecting the school’s aims and ethos. Pupils enjoy a full and all-embracing life at school.’
‘Pupils relish this variety in their school day.’
‘The pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is outstanding, reflecting the school’s aims of encouraging strong moral and Christian values, respect for others and helping pupils grow in confidence and acquire self-discipline.
‘The teaching fosters intellectual, physical and creative effort in pupils. A strong feature of many lessons is the expert knowledge, enthusiasm and sense of purpose of teachers.’
‘The quality of boarding education in the school is outstanding. The whole life of the school is devoted to the needs of the boarders, and the aim of providing a happy, caring, well-disciplined, boarding environment is very well achieved.’
‘The school achieves all its aims very well. The staff show great dedication and commitment to the pastoral care of the pupils, with whom they enjoy excellent relationships. Pupils’ personal development is an outstanding feature of the school; pupils are articulate and motivated, and they learn to take responsibility for attending activities and how best to utilise their non-programmed time. The all-round education offered by the school is outstanding and gives each pupil the opportunity to develop his talents fully.’
