ISI Interim Inspection Report May 2011: 'Outstanding'

An interim inspection was carried out on 10th and 11th May 2011, at the end of which we were graded 'Outstanding' in all categories.  This wholehearted endorsement, coming so quickly on the heels of our Ofsted inspection (which identified our pastoral and boarding provision similarly 'Outstanding' in all areas), is a great tribute to the whole school community.

Independent Schools Inspectorate Report 2007

The school was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in April 2007, which concluded that "Pupils develop as articulate and socially responsible individuals who have a strong motivation to achieve high standards in whatever they do.  Pupils of all ages and abilities reach good, often outstanding levels of achievement in academic work as well as sporting, artistic and intellectual activities.... The academic achievements of students have developed to a point where pupils of all abilities and ages, including those with learning difficulties or disabilities, and the most able, achieve academic standards which fulfil or exceed their potential.  Pupils have developed substantially in their independent learning."
