During the recent visit from a team of six inspectors, the ISI conducted a Focused Compliance Inspection (FCI) which judges adherence to ISI regulations: Tormead met all required standards. The Educational Quality Inspection (EQI) was also completed and the school was awarded the highest judgement, Excellent.

Headmistress Christina Foord said, “We are absolutely thrilled with these results. The inspectors saw what we see and judged Tormead as Excellent, attesting to our girls’ exemplary attitudes to learning and outstanding achievements. We aim for the best, for each individual girl and for the school; we aim to live by our Values. There is much in these reports to affirm us in what we do. The tremendous efforts and achievements of girls, staff, parents and governors are recognised in these glowing reports, and we are extremely proud.”
