We were pleased with the result of our latest inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (the independent schools equivalent to Ofsted). The inspectors praised many aspects of our school, but best of all, they awarded us a ‘Significant Strength’ for our Cricklade Pupil Development programme. You can read the full report here.
