Dear Parents,
You will be pleased to know that a full copy of the ISI Inspection Report can be downloaded from the attachment below. Brentwood School is very pleased with this report which, in summary, says that:
- The school provides a very good all round educational experience that is consistent with its stated aims and philosophies
- Pupil attainment is high both in and out of the classroom
- The spiritual, moral and cultural development of pupils is outstanding
- The teaching is good and has improved significantly since the last Inspection
- The quality of pastoral care is outstanding
- The quality of links with parents and the community is excellent
- The school provides a very good boarding experience
- The school is well governed and managed and has many strengths and no serious weaknesses
- The school meets all the regulatory requirements.
The school is required to respond formally to the Inspection report and we have done so by stating that steps have already been taken to improve our system of staff appraisal by focusing on specific professional development. The school will also be providing in service training during the next year to encourage a greater variety of teaching styles and pupil activities in lessons. Further in service training will be provided to encourage staff to make full use of all the resources available to enhance learning.
I take this opportunity to thank you for your assistance in ensuring such a positive report.
Very best wishes,
Yours sincerely,
D I Davies
