Terra Nova is delighted to have recently received an outstanding ISI Inspection Report, following the completion of our inspection in February 2009.
We were awarded ‘outstanding’ for numerous aspects of our provision including personal development, pastoral care, and links with our parents and the community, the nursery provision and our boarding education.
Headmaster Nigel Johnson commented, “This independent report indicates very clearly that Terra Nova is an ‘outstanding’ family school and that our children are happy, challenged and stimulated by all the opportunities that are available to them, in and outside of the classroom.”
