What is an ISI Inspection?

The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) is the body approved by the Department for Education to inspect schools belonging to Independent Schools Council (ISC) and report on compliance with independent school regulations. The inspectors observe lessons, have discussions with pupils and examine samples of pupils’ work. They hold discussions with staff members and governors, monitor co-curricular activities and attend form meetings and assemblies. Inspectors consider the responses of parents, staff and pupils to a pre-inspection questionnaire and examine curriculum and other documents.
