The latest Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) framework represents a structured and holistic approach to evaluating the multifaceted aspects of school life. It emphasises the following key areas:
This section highlights the importance of leadership at all levels within the school, not just at the senior leadership level. Inspectors will distinguish between governance responsibilities and those of executive leadership and management, ensuring a clear understanding of roles and accountability.
The framework mandates a detailed evaluation of the quality of education, including clear reporting on pupils’ progress and outcomes. This focus ensures that the academic and co-curricular offerings are effectively meeting students' needs.
Schools are evaluated on their support for students' physical and mental health, guided by relevant standards and statutory requirements. This ensures that schools provide a safe and nurturing environment for all students.
This section includes an evaluation of the school’s careers provision, preparing students for future economic participation and their roles in society.
The final section focuses on safeguarding, ensuring that students are protected from harm and neglect in accordance with statutory guidance. This area is crucial for maintaining a safe educational environment.
The framework adopts an integrated approach, recognising the interconnected nature of different standards and promoting a comprehensive understanding of school operations. It incorporates the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, the National Minimum Standards for boarding schools, and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.
