Inspection Reports

Some of the findings about our pupils from the Independent Schools Inspectorate Report of May 2010 are displayed on this page. A full copy of this report and a summary of its findings are available via the respective links below.

“Pupils’ personal qualities are outstanding. Pupils are engaging, curious and committed to striving for the best… The friendly and welcoming atmosphere of the school is marked. Pupils have very good relationships with each other and their teachers and pupils value the relationships across the years.”

“The overall success that the pupils achieve throughout the school owes much to the positive attitudes that they have towards work, to their exemplary behaviour and to the very good relationships that exist between pupils and their teachers. Pupils’ high achievement is the result of personal commitment, a real desire to learn and the lively dynamic between pupil and teacher.”

“Pupils are very articulate, and listen and respond thoughtfully to the views of others. They clearly enjoy their lessons and are attentive. The school is very successful in its aim for pupils to become resilient, determined learners who can respond positively to constructive feedback.”

“Cultural development is strong. Pupils show excellent understanding of the diversity of their community and the world in which they live. Pupils of different cultural backgrounds are well integrated into the life of the school and make significant cultural contributions. Distinguished visiting speakers, foreign authors and cultural events encourage pupils to be aware of world issues.”

“They converse confidently, and talk about their learning activities with enthusiasm and clarity of expression. They respond well to praise and encouragement and are happy in the setting, deriving pleasure from their learning.”
