We were successfully inspected in October 2009 by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI), a body approved by the UK Government. This independent quality assurance informs our future planning and is part of our continuous cycle of school improvement. Here are some extracts from the report:
Conclusion
"The Poznan British International School provides a good quality education for its pupils, achieves its aims and meets the needs of its pupils. Pupils' achievements are good because a broad and wide-ranging curriculum is provided with opportunities for all pupils to learn and achieve well."
Pupils' Learning and Achievements
" Poznan British International School fulfils its aim of enabling each child to reach as high a standard as possible."
"Less able as well as more able pupils are successfully helped to make progress in all subjects, largely as a consequence of well-planned activities and a good pupil to staff ratio."
"Pupils' overall achievement levels are in line with pupils of a similar age in English maintained primary schools, and in some subjects, notably English, mathematics and science, many pupils exceed those levels."
Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development of Pupils
"The school enables pupils to develop a good sense of spiritual well-being, moral, social and cultural understanding and achieves its aim of nurturing self-confidence."
The Quality of Teaching
"The overall quality of teaching is good throughout the school and on occasions is outstanding."
"Good quality teaching also encourages pupils to behave responsibly and consequently enjoy their learning. Teachers expect their pupils to work hard and most respond enthusiastically."
"Teaching is enhanced by the positive and friendly relationships that exist between pupils and their teachers."
The Quality of Care and Relationships
"Both teachers and the school's senior management team provide very good care for pupils throughout the school, showing strong regard for their welfare, health and safety."
"Pupils obviously feel happy and secure with their peers and the adults who support them. As a result, the pupils are friendly, enthusiastic and proud of their school."
