An Ofsted Section 8 inspection took place on the 21-22 June 2022 and this is the first inspection of the school since the last inspection in 2016 where the school was graded Good in all areas.

Confirming that the school continues to be Good, the inspectors praised school staff and leaders, noting:

• Isca is a calm and purposeful place in which to learn.
• All pupils follow an ambitious and rigorous curriculum.
• Teachers have strong subject knowledge. They enthusiastically share what the know.
• Students have a voice in school life.  Leaders listen to their views and act upon them
• Staff know how to help students with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) with their learning. Students are involved in reviewing what support they most value.
• Leaders support students' wider personal development well.

The report which specifically highlights the Safeguarding arrangements at the school reported that:

• The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
• Staff are vigilant about the safety and welfare of students. Training helps them understand the possible signs of harm.
• Leaders take prompt action when concerns are reported.
• Safeguarding staff work tenaciously to secure the help that pupils need.
