Year-over-year change per dimension based on consecutive ERO reviews.
wellbeing 85 → 80 (-5)
Both reports affirm strong wellbeing systems, but the 2024 report shows a more focused, evidence-based approach. The 2019 report emphasized "very good, consistent systems" across boarding and international students with "high levels of student engagement." The 2024 report narrows focus to state that "Student wellbeing is central to staffing and provisions" and notes "Internal reviews have been conducted to identify areas to strengthen practice," suggesting a shift from established excellence to active continuous improvement.
