ISI 'Excellent in all areas' INSPECTION REPORT 2023

We are delighted to announce that Charterhouse Square has been judged by the ISI to be ‘excellent in all areas’.

In April 2023, ISI inspectors examined both our compliance and educational standards. In an exceptionally thorough process, Parents, staff, and Upper House children were invited to complete questionnaires, over 70 lessons were observed, and the majority of staff were interviewed in some capacity. In addition, children’s books, teacher’s planning and all school procedures and policies were scrutinised.

Charterhouse Square School has achieved the highest category of ‘excellent’ in both areas ‘quality of pupils’ academic and other achievements’ and ‘quality of pupils’ personal development’. In addition, all eight areas of the compliance inspection were met.

This judgement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teaching teams and recognises what a very special place Charterhouse Square is.
