Inspection reports
The ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) is appointed by the Department of Education to inspect association independent schools in England. Our last inspection took place in November 2024. We were delighted with the report, with all required standards successfully met. A few observations included:
- Rydes Hill is characterised by its three ambitions of thinking deeply, living wisely and loving generously. Pupils are successfully equipped with the necessary skills, knowledge, confidence and understanding to embrace challenges and showcase their talents.
- Teachers expectations are aspirational and their lessons are well-considered to challenge pupils while providing appropriate support whenever necessary.
- Pupils are excited by their learning and keen to learn more. They apply effort, act responsible and make good progress. They successfully gain entry to a range of secondary school, frequently achieving scholarships.
- Leaders maintain scrupulous oversight of the daily running of the school. They have a diligent and comprehensive approach to school evaluation and development.
- The school is a harmonious community with pupils treating each other kindly and courteously, always showing knowledge of and respect for people’s differences.
