In April 2024, NLCS welcomed the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) for our latest routine inspection, carried out under the new ISI framework.
We were pleased to receive a strong endorsement across all areas of school life — from the quality of education to the wellbeing, engagement and development of our students at every stage. The inspection also confirmed that NLCS is fully compliant with all regulatory standards, with best practice recognised throughout.
Under the updated ISI framework, schools no longer receive single-word judgements such as ‘Excellent’ (which NLCS was awarded at its previous inspection). Instead, inspectors provide a detailed evaluative commentary across all aspects of a school’s provision.
You can find a summary of the inspection findings below.
