Inspection Reports
In November 2024, we welcomed a team from ISI for a routine inspection. We were delighted that they identified so many positive aspects of our school.
Since the introduction of ISI’s new inspection framework in September 2023, their reports no longer use qualitative descriptors in relation to their findings. Instead, the report confirms whether or not ISI’s exacting standards are met and provides commentary on their findings. Eastbourne College met all standards in this inspection.
Here we share some of their comments that capture the strength and ethos of an Eastbourne College education.
