Inspection Reports

As an independent School, Newcastle School for Boys is inspected by the Independent School Inspectorate (ISI), a government regulated body. More information on the ISI can be found here: http://www.isi.net/about/what-we-do.

It’s our pleasure to share with you the outcomes of our most recent Independent Schools Inspectorate reports. While ISI no longer awards graded judgements, we are pleased that all areas inspected are found to be fully met.

Feedback gathered by the inspectors from pupils and from families was particularly positive and warmly expressed. These comments speak strongly of the supportive, caring and nurturing environment we strive to provide our pupils every day and reflect the happy and thriving community that our school continues to be.

We are pleased to share the full reports with you below and are delighted to share some key highlights and strengths.

Pupils feel safe in school. Staff are vigilant and act quickly to help and support pupils where required.

The emotional wellbeing of pupils is effectively, compassionately and consistently promoted
