Excellent Inspection

I am very pleased to post an excellent report from our recent OFSTED boarding inspection. Alongside the first-rate inspection reports on the school from the Independent School Inspectorate and on our Early Years from OFSTED, this report confirms that quality of the education and care provided throughout the school to all our children, pupils and students.

Substantial improvements have been made since the last inspection in 2006.  On this occasion, where the school has fallen short of the Outstanding category, it is almost always in relation to detailed record keeping. The inspection follows a prescribed agenda and uses a four point scale; outstanding, good, satisfactory, inadequate.

• The overall rating is Good
• Helping children to be healthy: Good
• Protecting children from harm or neglect and helping them stay safe: Good
• Helping children achieve well and enjoy what they do: Outstanding
• Helping children make a positive contribution: Good
• Achieving economic wellbeing: Good
• Organisation: Good
