INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS INSPECTORATE 2009

In October 2009 the school’s many outstanding features were highlighted in an inspection report from the Independent Schools Inspectorate. The inspection, which is part of the regular inspection schedule of independent schools registered with the Independent Schools Council, judged the quality of the education provided, the safety, welfare and development of the children and found the school to be fully compliant with all regulatory requirements.

The inspection also confirmed that the Early Years provision for the very youngest children in the school is outstanding and is highly effective in meeting the needs of all children.
