ISI School Inspection Report 2024

We are pleased to share the written report from our latest routine inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) which took place in October 2024. 

The inspection was carried out under the protocols of the new ‘Framework 23’ and the reports do not contain an overall judgement or grading of the school.  Therefore, schools are no longer rated “excellent” (our previous gradings) but instead the report focusses on the extent to which a school meets the criteria for the expected standards in an independent school.  Schools are judged to have either ‘met’ or ‘not met’ the standards and, in the case of St Edmund’s, the inspectors judged that:

• • Standards relating to leadership and management, and governance are met.
  • Standards relating to the quality of education, training and recreation are met.
  • Standards relating to pupils’ physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing are met.
  • Standards relating to pupils’ social and economic education and contribution to society are met.
  • Standards relating to safeguarding are met.

“The stimulating learning environment encourages pupils to engage actively and think creatively.”

“The school’s extra-curricular provision … enables pupils to further develop and enhance a range of skills, including communication, teamwork, problem-solving, leadership, time management, organisation, public speaking and creative design.”

“Pupils have access to a huge choice of recreational activities that stretch and challenge pupils and offer new opportunities. Clubs and other extra-curricular activities are well attended, fun and richly enhance the educational offering.”
