Rendcomb College is World Class
08 Mar 2016
Rendcomb College, the mixed independent school located between Cheltenham and Cirencester, has been approved as a member of a global education body for meeting strict requirements in its Junior School.
The Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) has welcomed Rendcomb College as a member of its 650, carefully selected schools from across the world.
IAPS represents world-class head teachers, who lead world-class schools which must reach a very high standard to be eligible for membership. With strict criteria on teaching a broad curriculum, maintaining excellent standards of pastoral care and keeping staff members’ professional development training up to date, gaining IAPS membership is a kite mark of quality.
Speaking about her membership acceptance, Rendcomb College’s Head of Juniors Victoria Beevers, said: “It is with great excitement that we can announce that Rendcomb College Junior School has achieved IAPS status. In order to achieve this, I had to present evidence that our Junior School meets the various requirements to become a member of this organisation; to have the school and head teacher validated in this way is a real feather in our cap.”
Victoria continued: “Through membership of IAPS, we have a raised profile within the prep and junior school world and we have greater access to training, competitions and information which will ensure that Rendcomb College continues to thrive and develop.”
In addition to membership of IAPS, Rendcomb College boasts HMC membership (the Headmasters’ and Headmistresses’ Conference) through Headmaster Rob Jones, which is another kitemark of global quality, innovation and excellence in education of which just 276 schools in the UK are approved.
