“Pupils are at ease and content at Michael Hall School. The broad and rich curriculum is ambitious [and] leads to pupils achieving highly in public examinations. Pupils’ character is a strength, with sixth-form students acting as impressive role models. The body, soul and spirit underpin pupils’ education and personal development. Pupils treat the school’s natural environment with great care and adore being outside. The school has shifted significantly forward in its educational ambition and provision for pupils ... [and] the work to improve the provision for pupils with special educationala needs (SEN) has been rapid.”
