Inspection Reports

EXCELLING ACROSS ALL 5 AREAS

In January 2026, Hendon Prep School underwent a comprehensive inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, evaluated against the updated Framework 23 criteria. Notably, under this new framework, overall judgments or grades are no longer provided by ISI.

The inspection report is structured around 5 key areas, wherein inspectors meticulously detail commendations for met standards and provide insightful overviews highlighting areas for improvement where standards are not yet met. It brings us great joy to announce that Hendon Prep School has excelled across all 5 stages, achieving a commendable "met" status in each.

EXCELLENT IN ALL AREAS

The Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), rated Hendon Prep as ‘excellent’ in January 2023. The inspection report concluded that the quality of the pupil’s academic and other achievements is excellent and the quality of the pupils’ personal development is also excellent.

A double “excellent” is the highest possible outcome for a school during an Educational Quality Inspection.

We are so proud of what the inspectors said about our school and in particular that they recognised that “The school meets its aim to stretch and challenge pupils to achieve the best they can as individual learners”.

Regulatory Compliance Inspection

In 2018, Hendon Prep School received a Regulatory Compliance Inspection.

Both areas met the standards in the schedule to the Education Regulations 2014, following lesson observations, examining samples of pupils’ work and formal interviews with staff, pupils and governors.
