Inspectors rate Milton Keynes school 'excellent'

A leading Milton Keynes school has passed its latest inspection with flying colours.

Webber Independent School was rated “excellent” - the highest accolade - by the ISI following a visit last month.

Key findings by the Independent Schools Inspectorate were that the quality of academic and other achievements and the quality of pupils’ personal development were both excellent.

Headteacher Hilary Marsden said: “I am thrilled with the results of our latest ISI inspection, which is a true testament to the commitment and enthusiasm of all our staff and pupils.

“We are committed to offering a holistic approach to learning and the development of each individual - ensuring that every child has the best start in their lifelong learning adventure, preparing them to thrive in education and beyond.

“We want to instil an attitude that each pupil can and will achieve, and I am delighted that this is reflected in the inspector’s comments.”

The ISI report notes that “In line with the school’s aims, pupils experience an exciting, challenging and enriching education that inspires and supports them.

“Pupils across the school achieve a high level of success in a broad range of activities, at local, national and international level due to the dedication of the staff and because of their own inner drive and self-belief. The senior leadership of the school empowers staff to develop opportunities for extra-curricular enrichment that energise and stimulate pupils.

“Pupils demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning. They are positive thinkers who believe in themselves due to the confidence instilled in them as individuals. Pupils are extremely inclusive and show great respect for everyone.

“Pupils have deep understanding of other cultures helped by being part of a rich and diverse school community.

“Pupils spoke passionately about the school and how well it supports their learning and well-being. Pupils are highly motivated and want to succeed. They are ambitious for themselves and aspire to achieve in order to take the next step on to sixth form and beyond.

“The desire of pupils to contribute to the whole school community is strong. It is inculcated in who they are, naturally done and inherent in the everyday life of the school due to pupils feeling a true sense of belonging.

“Leadership and management demonstrate good skills and knowledge, and fulfil their responsibilities effectively, so that the other standards are consistently met, and they actively promote the well-being of the pupils.”
