Inspections Our most recent inspection by the British Accreditation Council was in July 2016. Here’s what they had to say:
The School aspires to offer a high quality experience and therefore chose Stirling University because of its beautiful campus, its excellent facilities, especially with regard to sport, and the quality of its support services. The School’s aim is to provide an educational experience that will help prepare students for the International Baccalaureate or GCSEs However, it also caters for students who wish to improve their sporting performance in golf and tennis. As these courses take place in children’s summer holidays, a strong emphasis is placed on having fun, raising students’ confidence and inspiring them for the future. The School has developed an extensive range of policies, especially in respect of health and safety and safeguarding, but also on academic matters such as learning and assessment.
