ISI Inspection December 2023

“The school’s leaders understand well their responsibility to promote pupils’ wellbeing. Leaders have developed strategies that support the school in its objective to provide pupils with an environment in which they are challenged to be the best they can be.”

“Pastoral care underpins the academic, extra-curricular and sporting achievements pursued by the school.”

“Teaching engages and generates intellectual interest and ambition among pupils at a high level. This is a significant strength. As a result, pupils develop a strong love of learning, for its own sake.”

“Leaders have created an atmosphere and culture that very successfully promotes pupils’ self-knowledge, self-esteem and self-confidence. This culture enables pupils not to worry about what others think about them, to be ambitious and to be thoroughly respectful of each other. This is a significant strength.”

“School leaders are knowledgeable and forward looking, actively promoting pupils’ wellbeing both pastorally and academically, including in boarding.” 

“Across all subjects, teachers’ clear instructions, and the whole school strategy focusing on reflection, lead to pupils’ high levels of ambition, engagement and effort in lessons. Pupils make rapid progress, regardless of their ability. The impact of the curriculum is reflected the consistently high attainment in external examinations.”

“Teaching is highly effective. Teachers engage very well with pupils and generate intellectual interest and ambition in them.”
