Extracts from Inspections and Reports

"Pupils’ development of self-esteem, self-confidence and self-knowledge is excellent."

ISI Inspection Report November 2022

"Pupils value highly the diversity within the school community. [...] As pupils described it ‘we are all the same because we are all different’."

ISI Report November 2022

 "The quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent. [...] Almost all pupils join the school as a result of unsatisfactory experiences in their previous education.

ISI Report November 2022

"The development of pupils’ spiritual understanding is excellent, although they would not define it in those terms. They appreciate the beauty of their surroundings and articulate this effectively. Pupils described looking towards the Isle of Wight and ships on the sea, floating as though they were hanging in the sky. [...] Pupils said, ‘we all come from small villages or concrete jungles, and we love the old building, the surroundings, and the sheep’."

ISI Report November 2022

 

"The Centre is to be congratulated for the wide range of activities with which the learner has engaged. I particularly liked the use of shapes to produce a piece of art which developed from being a robot to a tree more suited to the selected frame. A good variety of types of evidence has been provided including examples of hand written work, pieces of art, annotated photos and worksheets. In addition detailed tutor comments have been produced for each activity clearly describing what the candidate has done. Internal moderation had been carried out and the checklist completed correctly to reflect this. Well done!"
