Ofsted inspection report

Council of International Schools
The Council of International Schools announced iBOS as newly accredited on 22 February 2024. CIS accreditation is separate from the UK government accreditation and inspection process; both records are presented clearly below.
Quality information stays current
Pearson Edexcel, UCAS and The Good Schools Guide do not all represent accreditation. They are identified according to their actual role, as a qualification pathway, university-application service or independent review, so families can compare like with like.
Recognition and quality assurance support the complete school experience.
External recognition families can verify
Each mark leads to the dated evidence held by the responsible external organisation.
Check the record, not only the badge.
Each status is labelled by its real purpose and linked to the issuing or reviewing organisation. External records can change, so their live pages remain the final authority.
