ISI Reports
Argyle House rated 'Good' by the Independent Schools Inspectorate
Argyle House School is inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI).
ISI reports do not provide an overall judgement of the school. Instead, they give a specific evaluation for each area of the school’s work, including a summary statement. These statements use one of ISI’s official descriptors: Excellent, Good, Sound, or Unsatisfactory. This provides valuable insight for parents searching for the best school for their child.
Inspectors examine all aspects of school life. This includes reviewing the curriculum, observing lessons, speaking formally and informally with students across different age groups. They also hold discussions with staff and senior leadership. In addition, they analyse feedback from both parents and pupils.
