Overview of the ISI Inspection (2025)

King’s has been recognised as fully compliant and to have met all the required standards. The inspection report is very complimentary about a broad cross section of school life including; the breadth of our provision, how we utilise our fantastic campus, our SEND provision, the extra-curricular life of school, our King’s Compass programme, and the academic progress of our pupils.

The report details some key findings that include the following:

• Pupils are self motivated and ambitious about their learning and achievement.
• Pupils thrive, make good progress and consistently achieve well.
• Parents are well informed about the school and their child's attainment, progress and wellbeing.
• Relationships between pupils and adults are positive across the school.
• Pupils experience a broad curriculum and achieve well as a result of the high quality teaching they receive.
• Leaders create a culture in which praise is routinely given, which supports pupils’ self-esteem and confidence.
• pupils build on developing their skills in collaboration, alongside their sense of personal responsibility and respect for each other.
• In the early years, children are well supported both academically and pastorally, and as a result make a positive start to their education.
• The creative and aesthetic curriculum includes a wide variety of options, such as dance, drama and design and technology. Pupils' participation in music and music-making is of a high standard and they engage readily in regular school productions. High-quality artwork is noticeable in displays across the school, reflecting pupils' enthusiasm for creative subjects.
• Teachers plan lessons effectively, including through the relevant use of resources to help pupils deepen their understanding. Pupils make good progress and achieve well across a wide range of subjects.
• Pupils feel their views are valued and that they can contribute meaningfully to the school community.
• The school's commitment to social responsibility is evident in its partnerships with local and global communities.

These are just some highlights and there are many, many more positive judgements which we would encourage you to read in the full report (below).

“Pupils across all year groups, including children in the early years, benefit from a wide range of activities, enrichment trips and challenging opportunities, which extends their learning beyond the classroom.”
