ISI Report 2026

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am delighted to share the outcome of our recent inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI). The inspection team confirmed that Reddish Hall School meets all of the required standards across every area inspected.

This is a fantastic achievement and one that reflects the commitment of our pupils, staff and families.

The report recognises the highly personalised support that pupils receive, noting that staff provide “bespoke programmes” that prepare pupils effectively for their future lives. Inspectors also recognised the significant progress many pupils make during their time with us, reporting that “successful support and guidance” from staff leads to marked improvements in both attendance and behaviour.

The inspection highlighted the strength of our curriculum and the ambition we have for every child. Inspectors found that our focus on academic achievement has been “clearly successful” and recognised our determination to ensure that pupils’ aspirations are never limited by their previous experiences.

Particularly pleasing was the recognition of the positive experiences our pupils have in school. Inspectors noted that pupils enjoy their learning and identified how staff work to build confidence, self-esteem and independence, helping young people become well prepared for the next stage of their lives.

I would like to sincerely thank all parents and carers for your continued support. The strong partnerships we build with families are central to our success, and the report acknowledges the effective communication that exists between home and school.

I would also like to congratulate our pupils. Every day they demonstrate resilience, determination and courage in overcoming challenges and embracing new opportunities. This report celebrates the remarkable progress they make and the positive contribution they make to our school community.

Finally, I want to thank our exceptional staff team. The report recognises their expertise, dedication and unwavering commitment to supporting every child to thrive. We are incredibly proud of what has been achieved together.

Whilst we are delighted with the outcome, we remain committed to continuous improvement and will continue to build on the many strengths identified by the inspectors.

Thank you for your ongoing trust and support. We look forward to continuing our work together as we help every pupil achieve success and realise their potential.

Yours sincerely,

Sarah Makin
