As an independent school, our school inspections are carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The ISI is a body approved for the purpose of inspection under Section 162A of the Education Act 2002. As such, it reports to the Department of Education on the extent to which schools meet statutory requirements. The ISI is the agency responsible for the inspection of schools in membership of the Associations of the Independent Schools Council (ISC).

"There was a consistent approach to safeguarding across the school. The students were very positive about their personal safety and about the school and its staff looking after them."
In addition to ISI inspection, our Safeguarding Review is conducted by Cambridgeshire County Council (Local Safeguarding Children's Board).
