Sharing our 2026 ISI Inspection report

Posted: 2nd June 2026

We are absolutely thrilled that the unique ‘KS Spirit’ – a vibrant blend of purposeful learning, joyful curiosity, and a warm community – has been recognised in our latest Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection.

Following our ‘Excellent’ rating under the previous framework in 2023, the ISI has since introduced a new, rigorous system where schools are assessed on whether they ‘meet’ or ‘not meet’ standards across five core areas. We are delighted to announce that Knightsbridge School has successfully ‘met’ the standards across all five areas of evaluation.

The resulting report is a brilliant testament to the dedication of our staff, the support of our families, and the incredible achievements of our pupils. Here are just a few of the standout highlights from the inspectors’ findings:

High-quality teaching, rigorous assessment and personalised support ensure pupils are engaged, challenged and well prepared for the next stage of their education.

Teachers consistently demonstrate knowledge, understanding and enthusiasm for their subjects [and] use their knowledge of pupils to plan opportunities that extend and enrich learning.

High expectations, exposure to sophisticated vocabulary, and positive staff-pupil relationships enable pupils to focus, participate confidently and make good progress.

Behaviour across the school is consistently respectful and positive, with high expectations that are clearly communicated and fairly enforced.

Leaders promote a shared vision of a happy, nurturing environment for pupils alongside a broad and balanced educational experience. This approach sets high standards, supports an inclusive and positive school culture and directly develops the values and well-being promoted by the ‘KS code’, such as forgiveness and enthusiasm.

Pupils show pride in their school and recognise that every individual deserves respect.
