Pupils, staff and governors at the School are delighted to share their ‘excellent’ news.
Wilmslow Prep School has yet again received the highest grade possible from school inspectors following a school inspection carried out in June 2017.
The Educational Quality Inspection reports on the quality of the School’s work and focuses on two key outcomes: the achievement of the pupils, including their academic development, and the personal development of the pupils.
The key findings of the report state that the quality of the pupils’ academic and other achievements is excellent and that the quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent.
Commenting on the Inspection, Headteacher, Helen Rigby, said, “Everyone who is part of the Wilmslow Prep family knows that this is a very special school and we were delighted to receive an ‘excellent’ judgement against every aspect.”
The report is glowing about Wilmslow Prep and its pupils. Some key findings from the inspectors are that pupils:
· Have highly positive attitudes to their work
· Make excellent progress in their academic subjects
· Excel in games and creative activities
· Have highly developed communication skills
· Behaviour is excellent, and
· Benefit from the atmosphere and expectations created by the school
Helen continued, “The report reaffirms that Wilmslow Prep is an exceptional school, offering pupils much more than just an outstanding education. We take a nurturing approach and expect much of our pupils who respond well and thoroughly enjoy their time at school, all of which was quite clearly recognised and lauded by the inspectors.”
During the thorough inspection process the inspectors observed lessons, conducted interviews with pupils and examined their work. They held discussions with members of staff and with a school governor, observed a sample of the extra-curricular activities as well as attending assemblies.
They also analysed responses from parents and pupils to a pre-inspection questionnaire.
