Bramley Hill School: Inspections

Asked by Helen MaguireLiberal DemocratDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 10 November 2025UIN 80927

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she will make an emergency inspection of the Bramley Hill School in Surrey.

Answered by Olivia Bailey

Private schools must meet the Independent School Standards, at all times, and are inspected at least every three years.

Bramley Hill was inspected by Ofsted in March 2024 when all the Independent School Standards were found to be met.

Concerns about safeguarding in a private school can be raised by contacting the Local Authority Designated Officer if an allegation is made against a member of staff, or the department if there are concerns about the school’s overall safeguarding culture or compliance.

Where information suggests that children may be at risk, an emergency inspection can be commissioned.
