‘The quality of the pupils’ academic and other achievements is excellent.’

‘The quality of the pupils’ personal development is excellent.’

This was a Focused Compliance Inspection which was combined with an inspection of Educational Quality.

The Focused Compliance Inspection reports only on the school’s compliance with Regulatory Compliance standards. The standards represent a minimum requirement and judgements are given as met or not met.

With regards to the Focused Compliance Inspection, as with our Regulatory Compliance Inspection in May 2017, Laleham Lea meets all the standards in the schedule to the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014, and relevant requirements of the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, and associated requirements, and no further action is required as a result of this inspection.


Moving on to the Educational Quality Inspection, the headline judgements apply one of the following ISI descriptors ‘excellent’, ‘good’, ‘sound’ or ‘satisfactory’.

The Inspectors found Laleham Lea to be ‘Excellent’ in all areas.
