Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI)

The Independent School Inspectorate (ISI) is a government regulated body which provides objective inspections and reports on the quality of education, care and welfare of children in independent schools. ISI does not make a single overarching judgement on a school but instead focuses on two key outcomes which are graded: Excellent, Good, Sound or Unsatisfactory.

“Pupils take part enthusiastically in the wide-ranging extra-curricular activity programme …” – Prep School ISI Inspection Report

Good Schools Guide – Yarm Preparatory

The Good Schools Guide is the UK’s leading school guide, offering unbiased school reviews and helping parents find and choose the best education for their child or children. Here is a snippet of our latest Good Schools Guide review…

“This feels a fun place to learn: inside and outside the classroom there is a wide range of discussion and activities (mostly run by staff) and to engage and interest every child, strengthening their relationship with their teachers. Children are enthusiastic about the opportunities provided, reflected in the faces of both pupils and staff. Being bored just isn’t on the radar here. A school that shows learning can be fun as well – fast paced with plenty of activity underpinned with reflection and resourcefulness. These are happy, bright, confident children with lots of opportunities for responsibilities and welcome them with genuine enthusiasm and pride.”
