Independent Schools Inspectorate Report
We are delighted to share the latest Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) Inspection Report for St Paul’s Girls’ School, which was carried out in February 2024.
Inspectors examined samples of students’ work, observed lessons across the school, and had discussions with students, parents, governors, teaching and operations and administrative staff.
St Paul’s Girls’ School meets the standards in all sections of the report. We are thrilled that the findings reflect our values and that the report is a glowing and fitting endorsement of our school.
There are many encouraging comments within the report around teaching and learning, self-motivation and emotional wellbeing:
“Attainment of the pupils at GCSE and A level far exceeds national averages.”
“The vast majority gain places at universities in the UK and abroad, many with challenging entry requirements.”
“Pupils say the school’s aims, which they participated in the writing, reflect who they are: bold in their ambitions, and serious, but having fun.”
“… they build trusting relationships and are happy, relaxed and behave notably well.”
“Pupils recognise the personal freedom and influence they have. They value this, acknowledging their role in creating trust and linking it to life beyond school.”
“Leaders’ carefully planned recruitment of skilled teachers who are provided with an effective programme of continuous professional development is a significant strength of the school.”
