Last week, the school was visited by four headteachers from around the country, who made up the Independent School's Inspectorate's team.
They were judging the School in terms of its regulatory compliance and the quality of the education it delivers. This covers everything from our policies, safeguarding and health and safety protocols, through to the learning skills and understanding of our children.
During the Inspection, they consider the progress that pupils make, how they are assessed and even how well they are prepared for future schools. Firstly, they assess whether the School is compliant, then if a child attends Forest School how well they achieve, and finally how strong their personal development is.
Although the report is still confidential, I am able to say that we are delighted with the overall outcomes in all of these areas and will provide you all with a copy as soon as it is available, which should be within a month's time.
As ever, I would like to thank our tremendous children and staff for demonstrating the high standards that they achieve every day and to the many parents who completed, so positively, the Inspection questionnaire.
We look forward to sharing with you the Inspection team's judgments and the full report over the next few weeks.
