Ofsted Inspections

Ofsted Inspection October 2022

This was the first routine inspection the school received since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Inspectors discussed the impact of the pandemic with leaders and have taken that into account in their evaluation of the school. Inspectors also carried out deep dives in these subjects: English, including reading; mathematics; history and citizenship. For each deep dive inspectors met with subject leaders, looked at curriculum plans, visited a sample of lessons, spoke to teachers, spoke to some pupils about their learning and looked at samples of pupils’ work.

In November 2019, our school again had a three day standard inspection from Ofsted and the team was pleased with the school’s quality of teaching and learning and assessment and with outcomes for pupils. These two areas were judged as good. The team also found that all Independent School Standards were met because the proprietor and leaders have complied with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
