ISI Focused Compliance and Educational Quality Inspection Report

FEBRUARY 2023

EXCELLENT IN ALL AREAS

Our most recent inspection by the Independent School Inspectorate, gave us the highest possible outcome – describing both the quality of pupils’ academic achievements and their personal development, as excellent.

From our children’s ‘highly enthusiastic approach to learning’ and their ‘outstanding attitude to their studies’, to their collaborative and supportive behaviour, ‘strong social awareness’ and ‘excellent personal development’ the inspection team praised all aspects of life at St. Mary’s.

The inspectors noted that: "Pupils’ highly enthusiastic approach to learning enables them to make excellent progress across the curriculum.”

SIS Inspection October 2014



“In the Early Years the educational programmes for children’s learning are outstanding.”

“The high expectations and the quality of care provided by the staff have created a strong sense of a vibrant, interactive and successful school community where individuals feel safe, enjoy school and develop as confident and articulate young people.”

“Pupils’ high standards of literacy and numeracy are supported effectively by the standard of teaching.”

“The high quality of the curriculum, including the rich range of opportunities for learning provided by school visits and extra-curricular activities, enables pupils of all abilities to make progress, ensure that they are well prepared for the next stage of their education and have the basic skills to enable them to make the most of the opportunities, responsibilities and experience of adult life.”

“The quality of teaching is outstanding overall, particularly in the upper part of the school and is supported by specialist teaching and teachers’ excellent subject knowledge.”

“The school day is notable for the absence of raised voices and this reflects the positive relationships between pupils and staff, and pupils and each other.”
