Supportive School Health Check: ISI Mock Visit

Home » Educational services » Supportive School Health Check: ISI Mock Visit

A Light-Touch Mock Inspection for Independent Schools

This streamlined, supportive review offers schools a focused snapshot of current practice aligned with ISI standards. Conducted over 2 days by a senior education consultant, the visit provides constructive feedback on key areas such as teaching, learning, leadership, and compliance. Designed to be developmental rather than judgmental, the process helps schools reflect, prepare, and strengthen readiness for formal inspection.

With JMC’s help , advice & incisive evaluation and feedback, we achieved ‘Excellent in all areas’.

Thank you indeed, for helping us ‘show & tell’ instead of ‘hide & seek’

Dominic Price, Headmaster & School Proprietor, Merton Court Preparatory School
