I’m delighted to share that our recent ISI inspection (3–5 February 2026) found that PHS met all Standards. Inspectors praised our strong pastoral care, inclusive ethos and ‘culture of care and mutual respect.’
The curriculum was highlighted as well planned and ambitious, with excellent literacy provision. Older pupils achieve well, and those with special educational needs receive effective support. Early Years staff were praised for inspiring a love of learning.
Our wide co‑curricular programme, pupils’ strong values, and high‑quality careers guidance were also commended. Safeguarding was judged ‘thorough and robust.’
