Dame Catherine Harpur’s School and Nursery Independent School Inspectorate and Ofsted Inspection reports 

ISI Regulatory Compliance Inspection March 2023

Following our joining the Independent School Association in 2022 and applying to be inspected by the Independent School Inspectorate, we are delighted that the inspection team found us to have met all independent school standards without any actions required. Please find a link to our report below.

OFSTED Inspection July 2019

The school and nursery were inspected by OFSTED in June 2019 and judged to be good in all areas. It is clear from the national picture that small independent schools are faced with so many challenges in order to meet such rigorous standards, and we could not be prouder of our leadership, staff, children and parents, who all helped to demonstrate that we are a GOOD school in all respects. We were delighted that OFSTED wrote about so many of our strengths in our report. It demonstrates that it is possible to meet all of the Independent school standards and provide consistently good teaching, learning and progress, without having to compromise our ideals on curriculum and assessment. What is more, this demonstrates that this is achievable, whilst providing a unique and diverse offer to families who wish for their children to join us on a flexi-school or home-school programme.
