Delhi Private School's 2022 SPEA review rated it Very Good overall. English achievement was outstanding, and safeguarding, care and parent partnerships were outstanding or very strong. Teaching, assessment and curriculum were very good, though higher-attaining students need more challenge, written feedback needs more depth, and lesson monitoring should be more consistent in Phases 2 and 3.
