ISI Inspection Report – December 2025

Following our ISI inspection, the school was found to be compliant in all areas, with two aspects of school life identified as significant strengths — an exceptional achievement reached by only a handful of schools nationwide.

Blundell’s School is delighted to share the outcome of its Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection, which took place in December 2025. The school was found to be fully compliant in all areas and, in a rare and exceptional achievement, was awarded two significant strengths.
A significant strength is an area of a school’s provision that goes well beyond expectations and has a notably positive impact on pupils. Nationally, only around one in ten schools is awarded even a single significant strength, making the recognition of two an exceptional accolade.
The report reflects the sustained hard work and commitment of pupils, staff, and governors over many years, and highlights a culture of educational excellence of which the whole Blundell’s community can be proud.
