Bedford School was inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), the body responsible for the inspection of independent schools, in October 2023 and, we are delighted to say, received a hugely positive report, and unequivocally met all Standards.

Unlike Ofsted, the ISI does not provide a single overarching judgement, but instead gives clear judgements on regulatory compliance, with information on the quality of the schools’ work. The new framework, which has been in place since September 2023, focuses on how schools promote the wellbeing of their pupils. ISI determine this through close scrutiny of schools’ leadership, education, recreation and safeguarding arrangements, as well as pupil mental and physical health, and social, emotional and economic wellbeing.
