Click here to read our excellent September 2009 Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report.
Highlights include...
"Pupils’ educational experiences enable them to achieve well academically in relation to their abilities, and high expectations of the school in terms of personal development, mutual respect and contribution to the community equip pupils to successfully meet the challenges of the modern world."
"Across the school, pupils are focused, sustain concentration and are enthusiastic in their learning, displaying obvious enjoyment."
"Pupils listen carefully, show well-developed oral skills, discuss thoughtfully and write fluently."
"Pupils are encouraged to reach their potential and are confident, articulate, caring and sociable, displaying very good manners and self-discipline."
"Relationships between staff and pupils and amongst pupils are outstanding, with a high degree of mutual respect that promotes exemplary behaviour in the pupils, who are polite and courteous."
"The beauty of the natural environment, the gardens and grounds in which the school is set, the splendour of the refurbished fifteenth-century house, the sympathetically refurbished outbuildings together with the addition of new buildings all make a contribution to the spiritual, social and cultural development of pupils of all ages. Pupils appreciate and show a deep respect for their environment."
"Parents feel very welcome in the school and are actively involved, both in supporting a variety of activities and in the work and progress of their children, including open days, assemblies, concerts, matches and social events."
