Edenhurst Preparatory School and Nursery were inspected by the Independent School Inspectorate (ISI) in March 2017 and we are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the grade of “Excellent” across the board. This is the highest grade a school can be awarded under the ISI Inspection scheme.
Key findings summarise that:
- The quality of the pupils’ academic and other achievements is EXCELLENT

The report notes that pupils “make excellent progress as they move through the school”, “feel valued, safe, well supported and happy within the school community”, and “are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education.”
It also makes reference to pupils’ “exceptional skills for the use of modern technology”, “exceptional achievements in scholarships, sports, the performing arts and particularly music”, and praises their “mature and wholly positive attitude to their learning.”
