ISI Key Findings
Older pupils are self-motivated and keen to engage in learning. Teachers encourage pupils to think and learn for themselves. They respond positively to their teachers’ subject expertise and show a willingness to explore topics broadly and deeply. In lessons for older pupils, the classroom atmosphere is typically one of absorbed mutual absorption, with the teacher guiding the pupils and stimulating their curiosity through careful questioning and creating links with other areas of the subject. (27) The extensive range of co-curricular activities extends beyond lessons. There is an appropriate range of activities available for boarders in the evenings and on weekends. Numerous clubs and societies, many initiated and run by pupils themselves, encourage pupils to pursue their interests and to explore new activities. The vast majority of pupils are enthusiastic participants in clubs, and their leadership skills, self confidence and self-esteem develop through their involvement. The co-curricular programme enriches pupils’ education, reflecting the school’s aim to bring purpose and joy to school life. (29)
