KELLY College has been described as ?a successful and forward-looking school that has many strengths and few weaknesses? in a recent report.
The report of the Independent School Inspectorate on Kelly College has recently been published. Headmaster Mark Steed said the inspection had been ?a hugely positive experience for Kelly?.
?We are a good school and we had nothing to hide and so it was no surprise to receive a glowing write-up. The most pleasing aspect of the report is that our pastoral care provision was considered ?outstanding?, putting it in the top few schools in the country. The report highlights our areas of strength and has helped us to identify the priorities for taking the College forward over the coming years,? he said.
The quality of teaching and learning was said to be good and pupils? attitudes to work also good. Pupils were said to be exceptionally happy and loyal to the school, committed in their work and very enthusiastic in all their activities, particularly outdoor pursuits.
Other main findings were that pupils were very well cared for and received highly effective pastoral and academic support, guidance and welfare. Pupils behaved very well, supported one other markedly and related easily with all the staff.
The report added that the school was very well led and managed, but needed to develop its careers and library provision and promote cultural activity more strongly.
