Inspection
Dear Parents,
We are delighted to share the results of our Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) Routine Inspection Report from September 2023.
Our school is one of the first in the North West to be inspected under the new ISI Inspection Framework which came into effect in September 2023.
“Staff treat pupils as individuals so that each pupil recognises their strengths and follows their own pathway.”
The report starts with a summary of the main inspection findings, detailing the extent to which the school meets the Independent School Standards. It then divides into specific sections focusing on leadership, management, governance, pupils’ education, physical and mental health, social and economic wellbeing, and safeguarding. The new inspection framework places a significant focus on pupil voice and wellbeing.
“The positive attitude of the older pupils as they look towards their adult life encourages younger pupils to plan in a similar way”
“There is a culture of actively listening to pupils”
“Pupils feel safe in school.”
Unlike the old inspection framework, the school is not graded. Instead, the report states if the school is meeting the standards and also identifies any next steps in its strategic planning. As you will see, we are delighted that the inspection identified that we meet all of the standards and is highly positive with regard to the quality of education and pastoral provision at St. Bede‘s College.
