ISI report
“Throughout the school, pupils are articulate and composed, displaying very high speaking and listening skills. An established feature of the lessons is that pupils regularly enjoy the challenge of thinking deeply and reasoning with each other, the teacher and with set tasks. From this, they are able to put together a strong case to support their own thoughts as well as to respectfully question others, including the teacher if required.”
