School and Nursery Inspection Reports

School Inspection

 

Our latest School Inspection was carried out between 12-15 March 2013 by the School Inspection Service.

 

SIS is an independent body approved by the Secretary of State for Education to carry out school inspections under Section 162A of the Education Act 2002. Its activities are monitored by Ofsted, which reports back to the DfE on an annual basis about the quality of its work.  Its inspectors, most of whom are former HMIs (Her Majesty's Inspectors), are all approved by the DfE.

 Summary of Main Findings 

 

“King’s School and Nursery provides pupils with a high quality of education. It is successful at meeting its core aims; pupils say that they enjoy being at the school and their parents express their strong support of this view.  The quality of education provided throughout the school is outstanding and reflects the school’s Christian ethos.  The range and quality of the curriculum are exceptional.  Teaching is of excellent quality overall and is never less than good.  As a result, most pupils, of all ages and abilities, make outstanding progress as they move through the school. “
