Recent coverage
In March 2024, Hornsby House School underwent an Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) inspection, which confirmed that the school met all Independent School Standards across leadership and governance, education, wellbeing, contribution to society, and safeguarding. The report's sole recommendation was to enhance the consistency and clarity of planning in a minority of teaching. As of May 2026, the school's headmaster, Mr. Edward Rees, has been in position since September 2012, providing stable leadership. In June 2025, the Hornsby House Educational Trust appointed Mrs. Camiila Jane Richardson as a director, effective from 1 September 2025. This appointment followed the resignation of Andrew Winston Arthur Skinnard on 31 August 2025 and Evan Huw Davies on 4 June 2025. The most recent available inspection report is from March 2024, and there are no recent reports from Ofsted. Specific details regarding exam results, building projects, or other notable achievements are not available in the provided sources.
