Argyle House School is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), who review all aspects of school life.
Inspectors evaluate the curriculum, observe lessons, speak with pupils across all age groups, survey parents and staff, and meet with both teachers and senior leaders to gain a full picture of the school’s provision, culture, and outcomes.
