All-Round Excellence Confirmed at The Old Hall School

The Old Hall School is ‘an exciting school, buzzing with activity and endeavour in a wide variety of sporting, musical, dramatic and other activities’, where academic standards are ‘high overall in comparison to the national average’, according to the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
The inspection report, received this week, praised Wellington’s Old Hall School in all areas, describing its curriculum, pastoral care and links with parents as ‘excellent’. Headmaster, Martin Stott, in expressing his delight at the School receiving such plaudits, explained, “We are thrilled that the school’s recent move to its new location, next to Wrekin College, and all that has developed since, has been stamped with a very large seal of approval by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.”
Mr Stott, who joined the School in 2007, added that, “The inspection experience was very positive, in terms of confirming where we currently are, and reinforces our desire to continue to improve our already ‘excellent’ curriculum.”
An on-line questionnaire, completed by children and parents, produced results which praised all aspects of the School, its organisation and management, further enhancing the School’s reputation for combining the best of old and new, in educational terms.
The School’s inspection, one of the first in the country to be carried out under the new system, comes at a time when there is ever-increasing pressure on both the independent and state sectors to comply with rigorous regulatory requirements. The Old Hall School demonstrated its full compliance in every aspect, which is testament to the excellent internal organisation of the School and to its outstanding teaching and learning facilities.
The School welcomes all interested families to its next Open-Morning, which will be held on Saturday, 15th May. www.oldhall.co.uk
