Inspection Reports

Independent Schools Inspectorate Report

September 2023

We are delighted to share with you our successful report.

There are some significant changes to the way that the report is presented now under this framework:

  • There are no summary judgements; language around “Outstanding”, “Good” and so on does not exist.

  • Schools have either “met” or “not met” the ISSRs (Independent School Standards and Regulations). Where they are not met, action points are given for immediate action. Hydesville Tower School have met all ISSR’s and has no action points.

  • All schools must receive “recommendations” which are summarised at the start of the report and then greater detail is given as you read through.
