“Since becoming part of Godolphin and Latymer, governance and the leadership have ensured that, in addition to administrative and technical support, teaching expertise is shared between schools; this promotes strong learning outcomes for the pupils.”
We are absolutely delighted that Redcliffe Gardens School has achieved the highest possible grading in its recent inspection report from the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). Three inspectors visited the school in March 2022 and not only did the school meet all of the regulatory standards, but it was judged to be EXCELLENT for THE QUALITY OF THE PUPILS’ ACADEMIC AND OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS and for THE QUALITY OF THE PUPILS’ PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT.
Schools are rated across these two broad areas of EDUCATIONAL QUALITY as either excellent, good, sound or unsatisfactory and we are delighted that Redcliffe achieved the HIGHEST possible rating for both:
