Inspection Reports
Across the current inspection cycle, RMS has achieved the highest possible outcomes for a school.
The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) gave RMS an unequivocally positive report following their recent Regulatory Compliance Inspection in May 2022.
In their report, the inspectors confirm that RMS fully meets every area across all eight of these standards, which are scheduled in the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, the National Minimum Standards for Boarding Schools, and the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. Over the last year, 20% of independent schools have failed one or more of these standards.
With the inspectors making no recommendations for further action, this is the best possible outcome that a school can receive from a compliance inspection.
The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) visited in September 2017 and assessed the School as being “excellent” in all areas for the Educational Quality Inspection; this is the highest judgement that a school can be awarded. In the Focused Compliance Inspection we have been judged as being fully compliant in all respects.
