Inspection Reports and Reviews

Here you can review our Inspection Reports.

Our most recent ISI inspection (January 2026) confirmed that all relevant Standards were met with our boarding provision singled out as a significant strength - the highest outcome available under the current framework.

Inspectors noted that: “Leaders have established a coherent and integrated boarding community that reflects an extremely careful understanding of boarders’ individual needs. This is a significant strength of the school. The boarding leadership structure places safeguarding and pastoral care at the centre of boarders’ daily experiences. Leaders ensure boarders are provided with individualised support that prioritises their wellbeing. Boarders are provided with consistently thorough, proactive and responsive pastoral care that promotes an inclusive, respectful and harmonious boarding environment. As a result, boarders thrive and develop confidence and independence in a boarding community that values collaboration and personal identity.”
