Inspection Success for Highclare School

11 Feb 2015

The report of Highclare School’s very successful recent inspection is published this week. Carried out by ISI, the independent schools’ inspection body, the report focussed on the whole school, which caters for boys and girls from 15 months to 18 years. All seven aspects under review were judged to be Good, whilst three were deemed to be Excellent.

In the Early Years the inspectors rated the overall quality and standards of the provision to be Outstanding.

Head, Dr Richard Luker, was delighted that the school received such a strong report and commented:

“This is confirmation that the School is highly successful in meeting its aims to motivate pupils to achieve their all-round potential – something we believe to be very important. I am proud that the high quality of provision on offer at Highclare School has been validated by such a prestigious body as the ISI”.

The routine inspection initially checks for regulatory compliance and then spends time forming judgements on the quality of provision. The focus is on things like Teaching, curriculum, Leadership, Pastoral Care and Pupil Personal Development.

Inspectors commented :
“The school is successful in meeting its aim to motivate pupils to achieve their all-round potential” .

“The high standards identified at the previous inspection have been maintained and successfully reflect the school’s aim to help pupils develop self-respect and self-discipline, alongside tolerance and respect for others and the environment”.

“Their personal development is outstanding. Pupils leave the school extremely well equipped to become valuable citizens in the future”.
