ISI Reports
After our most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection, The Mall has been given the highest grading possible in all areas for the quality of education it provides.
Excellence overall
As well as meeting every point in the Regulatory Compliance Inspection, the Educational Quality Inspection gave the school the highest possible rating of ‘Excellent’ in the two key areas assessed – the quality of pupils’ achievements, and, the quality of pupils’ personal development.
During their four days at the school, the inspectors’ found:
- Pupils have excellent and highly developed communication skills
- Pupils have an excellent attitude towards their learning and work with very high levels of engagement in their lessons
- Pupils of all abilities make sustained, rapid progress
- Pupils show very well-developed social skills including the ability to collaborate highly effectively with their peers
- Pupils display excellent self-confidence, resilience and knowledge of their own strengths and weaknesses
- Pupils are extremely well-mannered and show a high degree of respect for their school rules as they take responsibility for their own behaviour.
In making their judgements, the inspection team met with staff and pupils, surveyed current parents and attended lessons across all year groups.
