Inspection Reports

February 2025: We are absolutely delighted to have achieved a first-class inspection report from the ISI. This recognition is a testament to the dedication of our staff, the unwavering support of our parent community and Governors, and the remarkable achievements of our pupils. Together, we have fostered an environment where every child can thrive, both academically and personally.

We are especially thrilled with the way in which the spirit of LCS shines through: pupils are thriving, developing into confident, capable individuals. The inspectors saw and commented on how central pupil wellbeing is to all we do in school, from our positive relationships to our rigorous safeguarding ethos.

This was our first inspection under the new framework known as ‘Framework 23’, in which the reporting style for ISI has changed. ISI no longer use final judgements of ‘excellent, good, etc.’ and we no longer enjoy the extended prose of previous years. The now more concise reports simply describe whether or not standards are met, and you will see that we have met all standards in all areas.

A team of six inspectors spent two and a half days examining every aspect of school life. Both during the inspection and as summarised in the report, the inspectors were extremely impressed by many aspects of the school and our pupils. They noted the high value-added scores in pupils’ academic achievement and the many ways in which we enable the development of vital independent learning and critical thinking skills.

While we are extremely pleased with the ISI report findings, we will continue to strive to provide the highest standard of forward-looking education and pastoral care. This excellent achievement reinforces that commitment.
