April 2023
Compliance and Educational Quality Inspection
During April 2023 a team of inspectors spent three days at school and examined all aspects of what we do.
They held discussions with members of staff, pupils, and Governors and they attended tutor group meetings. They visited areas right across the School including the facilities for learning support and the medical centre, as well as the boarding houses. The responses of parents, staff and pupils to pre-inspection questionnaires, for which we helpfully had a high response rate, were analysed and they examined all our documentation and policies that we are required to have.
The recent inspection resulted in the best outcome for the school and the best inspection report that the school has ever received.
