Collegiate School has announced the results of its ISI Inspection, in which the school successfully achieved all the required standards and regulations.

The report stated that “the school is a diverse community which celebrates difference” and “the emphasis on respecting and valuing all pupils is communicated clearly, meaning that respect is embedded in school life”.

Collegiate is one of the first schools to be inspected against a new framework, which places much greater emphasis on pupil voice and aims to gain a deeper understanding of what it is like to attend the school. It is also the first time when a single-word judgement such as “Excellent” has not been part of the process, to ensure a greater balance and breadth of the inspection findings, which can be read in detail below.

Headmaster, Jeremy McCullough, said: “We are delighted with the glowing report that we have received from ISI. The full report reflects enormously positively on the students, staff, parents and governors who work so hard together to make this school such a thriving, successful and happy community.

“We completely understand why ISI has moved away from single-word judgements; indeed we are surprised that Ofsted has not done the same, but we are confident that this report would have been accompanied by the highest possible judgement had that still been their practice. It really is an excellent read!”
