ISI Inspections
The College is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), which is approved by the Department for Education to inspect independent schools.
Under the current framework introduced in 2023, inspections consider both the College’s compliance with the Independent School Standards and the quality of pupils’ education and development.
Inspection reports are structured around four main areas:
Section 1 – Leadership, management and governance
Section 2 – Quality of education, training and recreation
Section 3 – Pupils’ physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing
Section 4 – Pupils’ social and economic education and contribution to society
Safeguarding is evaluated throughout the inspection and reported separately as a key judgement.
At the College’s most recent ISI inspection, the College met all of the relevant regulatory standards. The report recognises many of the strengths that we value deeply at Shoreham College: the warm and supportive relationships between staff and pupils, the strong sense of community across the College, and the breadth of opportunities available to pupils both in and beyond the classroom. Inspectors also noted the positive learning environment and the commitment of staff to supporting pupils’ progress and wellbeing.
As with any inspection, the report also identifies areas where the College can continue to strengthen its provision. These align closely with priorities already identified in our Development Plan, and we will reflect on the recommendations carefully as part of our ongoing review.
