The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) is the body approved by the Department for Education for the purpose of inspecting schools belonging to the Independent Schools Council (ISC) Associations and reporting on compliance with independent school regulations. ISI inspections are also carried out under arrangements of the ISC Associations for the maintenance and improvement of the quality of their membership.

The 2024 report included the following comments:

"The school's aims and ethos are successfully promoted. Pupils learn to appreciate and understand their own and others' needs and strengths. The school environment is a close and supportive community where pupils are happy, feel secure and valued."

"Leaders provide a curriculum with breadth and depth supported by teaching through which pupils successfully acquire knowledge and develop their skills and understanding. It is supported by teaching that engages pupils' interest and enables progress. Leaders diligently assess pupils' progress using standardised tests."

"Pupils are stimulated and well-motivated by the curriculum themes as well as the opportunity to add their own input to the evolving schemes of work."

"In all stages of the school, staff help pupils to develop self-confidence and self-esteem through praise and by celebrating achievement in and out of the classroom."

"The positive relationships between members of the school community instil the pupils with confidence that they are valued."

"Pupils respond to leaders and staff clearly valuing their positive behaviour with more of the same. This contributes to making a warm and friendly environment the norm."

"Teachers help pupils to develop their understanding and appreciation of cultures across the world through music and art."

"Initiatives such as Reading Buddies enable older pupils to support young children in the early years. Older pupils take these opportunities to care for younger pupils responsibly and seriously."

"Daily interaction with each other and adults promotes and strengthens children's social and emotional development in the early years."
