Admissions
Independent schools run their own admissions. You register directly with the school, usually for a fee, and the school sets its own deadlines, assessments and offer dates, which are separate from the borough process.
Inspection
Inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI)
ISI does not give a single overall grade and does not publish its findings as open data, so we show no rating. Read the latest report on isi.net.
