INSPECTORS have given a ‘ringing endorsement’ to an independent school near Rugby.
Princethorpe College was judged to have fully met all standards by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) following a visit in September.
The inspectors commended the quality of teaching, learning, and the curriculum.
They added: “The curriculum is complemented by a well-resourced co-curricular programme, which benefits pupils of all ages.”
They also praised the school and learning environment, adding: “The arrangement of having tutor groups consisting of pupils of all ages promotes a family and community spirit in the school, which contributes positively to pupils’ personal development.
“Pupils take responsibility through initiatives they lead themselves, such as volunteering for environmental groups, sixth form mentoring and fundraising activities.
“These encourage pupils to take responsibility for their actions and contribute to the school and wider society.”
Headmaster Grove du Toit said: “We are particularly proud that the inspectors recognised the strength of our school’s values and purpose, of our school rules ‘Be kind and do your best’ and the powerful impact these have on pupils and their learning.
“Alongside pupils’ wellbeing, pupil achievement is always a key benchmark for any successful school, and I am very pleased that the ISI Inspectors have so comprehensively recognised this in their report.”
