Inspection Report

Eleven inspectors from all over the world spent a week conducting lesson observations, interviewing parents, pupils, staff and governors. Over two hundred interviews and lesson observations were conducted. Inspectors also reviewed the school’s policies to ensure that they comply with UK standards of good practice.

The following aspects were reported upon:

• pupils’ achievements and their learning, attitudes and skills
• curricular and extra-curricular provision
• quality of teaching
• spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils
• arrangements for welfare, health and safety
• governance of the school
• leadership and management of the school
• links with parents, carers and guardians

For any school to achieve the highest ‘excellent’ judgements in all eight areas of an inspection is a great achievement. To attain this in all areas in two successive ISI inspections, as we have done, is a feat that very few schools can boast.

Some of the highlights of the report are:

• “From the EYFS onwards, pupils are highly successful in their learning and become confident learners”.
• “Pupils achieve significant success in GCSE, IGCSE and more recently, in A Level examinations”.
• “The excellent curricular and extra-curricular provision provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils of all needs and abilities”.
• “Pupils are strongly supported by the excellent quality of teaching”.
• “Pupils benefit from an enriching range of trips and visits”.
• “Pupils are typically confident, mature and articulate and have a clear moral sense of right and wrong”.
