This inspection report follows the framework laid down
by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The
inspection was carried out under the arrangements of the
Independent Schools Council (ISC) Associations for the
maintenance and improvement of the quality of their
membership. It was also carried out under Section
163(1)(b) of the Education Act 2002, under the
provisions of which the Secretary of State for Education
and Skills has accredited ISI as the body approved for
the purpose of inspecting schools belonging to ISC
Associations and reporting on compliance with the
Education (Independent School Standards) (England)
Regulations 2003.
The school must not quote the report selectively in the
school prospectus or other promotional literature.
The inspection was not carried out in conjunction with
the National Care Standards Commission (NCSC) and the
report does not contain specific judgements on the
National Minimum Boarding Standards. It comments on the
progress made by the school in meeting the
recommendations set out in the most recent statutory
boarding inspection and evaluates the quality of the
boarding experience and its contribution to pupils’
education and development in general.
The inspection does not examine the financial viability
of the school or investigate its accounting procedures.
The inspectors check the school’s health and safety
procedures and comment on any significant hazards they
encounter: they do not carry out an exhaustive health
and safety examination. Their inspection of the
premises is from an educational perspective and does not
include in-depth examination of the structural condition
of the school, its services or other physical features. |
