As an outward-facing and self-improving school, we have taken part in peer review models to quality assure our work. We are part of a number of peer review frameworks – led by The De Curci Trust, Portsmouth Education Partnership and one externally provided by Challenge Partners.

Challenge Partners provides an annual school review. Each year we welcome external reviewers; a lead reviewer who is Ofsted trained, two Headteachers and a senior leader from other parts of the country. They consider the schools’ strengths and areas for development within teaching and learning across the school, how well our pupils progress and how successful school improvement initiatives have been.

Our Executive Headteacher is a Senior Hub Leader for the Ambition South Challenge Partners cluster of over 20 schools.
In December 2024, Solent Infant School was accredited with Oracy as an area of excellence, and Solent Junior School was accredited with 'Research Learning Communities' as an area of excellence. We welcome visits from schools nationally (and internationally). If you would like to arrange a visit to one of our schools, please contact the Head of School or Executive Headteacher. Further information about these areas can be found below.
