Dear families,
I am writing to share the findings of the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) report following their visit from April 14th – 16th 2026. The inspectors spent two and a half days observing lessons, meeting students and staff, and reviewing policies and records.
The report recognises many of the school’s strengths, particularly our bilingual academic excellence, strong sense of community and inclusive and caring culture.
Please find here the link to the full ISI report.
Here are some highlights taken directly from the report:
“Leaders have planned a broad and balanced bilingual curriculum, which successfully supports the development of fluency in English and French from an early age.”
“The oldest pupils achieve success in a range of qualifications, which enable them to proceed to appropriate destinations in higher education.”
“Leaders create a school community where mutual trust and respect are the norm.”
“Pupils behave courteously and any incidents of bullying are promptly addressed by staff.”
“Leaders prioritise pupils’ wellbeing through effective support of their emotional and mental health.”
“They develop a thorough understanding of healthy relationships.”
“Leaders’ fulfilment of their aim to achieve ‘excellence through care’ enables pupils to achieve well and to develop as responsible global citizens.”
“Pupils’ cultural understanding is greatly enhanced by positive relationships with their peers and staff in a diverse, bilingual community with over 45 different nationalities.”
The inspection did however identify two administrative procedures unrelated to teaching or care that need to be corrected: the use of a French colour-coding system in our attendance registers rather than the required statutory English codes, and one procedural error in removing a student from our admissions register. The French coding system is robust and rigorous, and student safety was not compromised at any point. The noted points of non-compliance are administrative rather than substantive; all other standards were met. However, these points impact three sections of the report.
Because of the interconnected nature of the Independent School Standards, one unmet standard automatically affects the compliance judgment across all areas to which it relates. Therefore, although the inspectors praised our safeguarding culture and pastoral care, the two missed standards relating to attendance and admissions meant that the Standards for those three sections (Leadership and Management, Pupils’ Wellbeing, and Safeguarding) were formally recorded as “not met.”
The report makes clear that these are procedural matters relating to data coding, record-keeping, and administrative compliance. Leaders, governors, and staff continue to place student safety and wellbeing at the centre of school life. While we respect the inspection process, we share the governors’ disappointment that this administrative detail has such an impact on the report and overshadows the outstanding work carried out by the school. To address the concerns of the report, the following corrective measures are already being implemented:
ISI’s standard procedure requires a follow-up progress monitoring inspection to verify that unmet standards have been addressed. We are already working swiftly to make the necessary changes and look forward to demonstrating our compliance at the follow-up visit.
We are grateful for your continued trust in the school as we work to uphold our high aspirations for every student.
With warm regards,
Mireille Rabaté
Head of School
Dear Families and Students,
We are absolutely delighted to announce the exceptional results of our recent International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) evaluation visit.
We have just received the official IBDP evaluation report, and the findings are truly remarkable. Click here to read the full report.
Following the five-year evaluation required by the IB Organisation, two highly experienced external evaluators immersed themselves in our school, observing lessons, connecting with our community, and scrutinizing our policies and practices. Their findings, compiled in a comprehensive report, officially confirmed our continued accreditation to deliver the esteemed IB Diploma Programme.
Our implementation of the IBDP was assessed on nine key standards, using a four-point rating scale (see descriptors below), and we achieved:
This is an extraordinary accomplishment, a testament to the dedication and excellence of our entire school community. A huge round of applause for our amazing IB Coordinator, Ms. Maaike Kaandorp, and our dedicated faculty for their unwavering commitment and exemplary work.
A big thank you to our IB families and talented students for their trust and their hard work!
We are so proud, and we want you to be too!
Please join us in spreading the word, liking and sharing our posts, and making some noise about this fantastic achievement!
With best wishes,
Mireille Rabaté
Head of School
We have been authorised as an International Baccalaureate World School following a thorough assessment of the school by IB inspectors. This is a remarkable achievement, given how young the school is, and enabled us to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme starting in September 2019.
“Conversations with the pedagogical leadership team and teachers show considerable awareness of the importance of language learning and show awareness of plans for the school in this regard. This is something that is clearly important to the school and is mentioned in the vast majority of meetings. English/French bilingualism that is promoted in the school is at the heart of everything that is done and the choice of languages within the DP fully support this.”
“Conversations with parents and students show that there is an excellent general understanding of the following aspects of the programme each student is exposed to a broad and balanced curriculum and the DP is academically challenging but also aims at developing the attributes of the IB learner profile.”
International Baccalaureate also commended the school for:
“Teachers had excellent knowledge and understanding of students.”
“There is an excellent understanding within the school in general of the needs of students.”
“All members of the school have an excellent and appropriate understanding of the DP both in terms of content and philosophy; they are able to articulate this in a highly respectful environment.”
(Extract of IB report, April 2019)
The full authorisation report is available here as a PDF.
“The school’s work to promote students’ personal development and welfare is outstanding. Pupils’ positive attitudes to learning are central to the school’s work and its upbeat, stimulating ethos. Pupils respond especially well to their teachers and the wide range of opportunities to learn. The constructive relationships between students and teachers mean that there is a strong climate for learning. Pupils are aspirational and highly motivated, and this makes a strong contribution to their achievements.”
“Outcomes for sixth-form students are excellent. Since the school was opened three and half years ago, students’ progress has continued to rise. In the 2018 Baccalauréat, 98.5% of students passed the examination, and 31% achieved the highest grade.”
“Sixth-form students are prepared extremely well for the next stage of their careers. Careers advice, information and guidance are especially strong, and students value the support they get. Students were keen to tell inspectors of the high-quality support they receive to help to complete their university application forms. This is reflected in the very high proportion of students who go on to university. In 2018, for example, 99% of students were accepted at a university of their choice. All students moved on to university, except one who gained employment.”

We have been awarded CIS Membership following a rigorous self-evaluation process which culminated in September with an appraisal visit by a CIS Officer. Being a member of this network of highly reputable international schools in such a short time is quite an achievement.
“The school is a learning and listening school where everyone matters and is encouraged to extend themselves and achieve their best. The community is a collaborative one where teamwork prevails and responsibility and accountability are shared. Students are happy, self-confident and proud of their school. Their academic, health, social and emotional well-being is at the forefront of planning and rigorous Policies and Procedures are in place and consistently followed to ensure this is sustained.”
