Mill Hill Schools Inspection

In January 2024, Mill Hill Schools which includes Grimsdell (Mill Hill Pre-Prep), Belmont (Mill Hill Prep) and Mill Hill School were inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) under the newly implemented Framework 23, which was introduced in September 2023. This new framework moves away from a one-word judgement system, focusing instead on evaluating pupil experience across the below four core areas alongside Safeguarding, which underpins the entire framework.

  • Leadership and management
  • Quality of education
  • Pupils’ physical and mental health and emotional wellbeing
  • Pupils’ social and economic education and contribution to society

During the inspection, numerous lessons were observed, the inspectors met with hundreds of pupils, as well as a diverse range of teaching and non-teaching staff, along with members of our Leadership Team and Governing Body. Additionally, questionnaires were distributed to parents, pupils, and staff to ensure the views of the whole school community contributed to the outcome of the inspection.

We are incredibly proud of the report, it reflects the variety of strengths across the schools, the excellent provision on offer to all our pupils and identifies our co-curricular provision as an area of ‘significant strength’, the highest accolade of the new Inspection structure. This term is only used when a school does something truly exceptional, and which benefits all pupils.

Our most recent Inspection Reports can be viewed here:

"The co-curricular programme engenders pupils’ interests as well as develops pupils’ knowledge, skills and understanding. This is a significant strength of the school."
