ISI Regulatory Compliance and Educational Quality Inspection Report
September 2024
An inspection is a thorough process carried out by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and overseen by the Department for Education (DfE), typically occurring every three years.
In September 2024, Meoncross School experienced a comprehensive inspection by the ISI using the newly implemented Framework 23, which was introduced in September 2023.
Importantly, this new framework no longer provides overall judgments or grades from the ISI. Instead, the inspection report is organised around five key areas, where inspectors carefully outline commendations for 'Standards Met' and offer insightful feedback, addressing areas needing improvement where standards are not yet fulfilled.
We are thrilled that Meoncross achieved the best possible rating of 'Standards Met' in all five areas. This accomplishment reflects the hard work and commitment of our exceptional team.
Highlights of the Report:
The school successfully meets its aim of providing a supportive family-like environment where pupils can thrive both personally and academically.
The provision and quality of education, training and recreation supports the development of confident, capable, and well-rounded pupils.
Academic outcomes for pupils are good for pupils throughout the school, with pupils making progress over time and achieving well at GCSE.
There is an extensive extra-curricular provision with clubs including cooking, music and sports, which are accessible to all ages.
Pupils demonstrate respectful relationships with adults and each other.
