Staff and students of an independent school are celebrating after scoring full marks at a recent inspection.

Beechwood Park School, which currently has a record number of pupils enrolled, passed the Independent Schools’ Inspectorate (ISI) regulatory compliance inspection, meeting all 562 regulatory requirements.

Delighted headmaster Edward Balfour said: “I was particularly pleased with the findings of this report as they give us an excellent platform to plan and continue to thrive and succeed in the future.

“With a current school roll of 519, our record pupil numbers are testament to this.”

Inspectors were impressed across the board with the Markyate school, in areas including education provision, pupil development, curriculum, and boarding facilities.
