Prep School Inspection Reports

KS1 and KS2 classes in the Prep and Pre-Prep are inspected by ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate).

In their most recent report, ISI said

"Pupils in all parts of the school, including the EYFS, are well educated. They
achieve very well and reach excellent standards. Pupils make rapid progress in their
learning and achieve the school aims of fulfilling their full potential, so that they
emerge as confident, articulate, independent learners, extremely well prepared for
the next steps in their education. This is due to excellent teaching, a stimulating and
exciting curriculum, very good parental support, and highly motivated learners."

The Early Years provision at Hilden Oaks, which incorporates our Pre-School including the Nursery, Kindergarten and Reception classes, is also inspected by ISI.

In their most recent report, ISI said

"The overall effectiveness of the EYFS is outstanding, fulfilling its aim to provide a
safe, secure and stimulating learning environment in which children can flourish.
Staff are effective practitioners who keep the welfare and learning needs of the
children at the heart of everything they do."
