Westonbirt School excels in Inspection Report

Congratulations to the staff and pupils at Westonbirt Schools who have received an excellent report from the Independent Schools’ Inspectorate (ISI). 

The inspection, carried out in February and March 2011, recognises the many strengths of Westonbirt School and Rose Hill Westonbirt School. The report states that ‘Westonbirt Schools are successful in their aims of promoting high academic standards and developing each pupil’s self-reliance and self respect’.   Throughout their visit, inspectors found an extremely positive learning environment: ‘an atmosphere of trust and encouragement permeates the schools.’

The inspection highlights the high achievements at Westonbirt girls’ school: ‘Girls’ overall achievement in Westonbirt School is excellent, academically, in their community service and in their outstanding personal development.’ As well as recognising the academic excellence at Westonbirt School, the inspectors praise the girls’ moral awareness: ‘pupils demonstrate an extremely well-developed moral awareness and show great care for the well-being of others.  Their behaviour in class and around the school is exemplary.’

Headmistress, Mrs Mary Henderson, commented “I am delighted that the inspectors understood our ethos so well, particularly praising the academic achievements and also the pastoral care and happy atmosphere which enable the girls to become successful, confident and independent young adults.”
