Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided Paragraph 2(1), 2(1)(a), 2(1)(b)(i), 2(1)(b)(ii)), 2(2), 2(2)(d), 2(2)(d)(i), 2(2)(d)(ii)), 2(2)(f)), 2(2)(i)), 2(2)(e), 2(2)(e)(i), 2(2)(e)(ii), 2(2)(e)(iii), 3, 3(a) , 3(b), 3, 3(f), 3(g) and 3(i)  At the previous inspection schemes of work were not in place for all the required areas of learning. The curriculum was not being implemented in a way which accounted for the different needs and abilities of pupils. Pupils were not being taught about other faiths and cultures. In encouraging respect for others, particular regard was not paid to those who have protected characteristics. As a result, pupils were not being suitably prepared for life in modern Britain. Leaders had not ensured that pupils’ starting points or their progress were being assessed appropriately.  Since the previous inspection leaders have bought a wide range of new books and published curriculum guides. They are checking and reporting on pupils’ progress at

p.1

Main inspection findings

regular intervals. However, the leader responsible for the curriculum is still working on updating schemes of work to include these new resources. Pupils’ work demonstrates that teachers are not implementing the curriculum effectively to ensure it meets the needs of pupils with different abilities. Pupils told inspectors they were enjoying the new books available and the recent introduction of art lessons. However, they also said that they would like a greater range of opportunities such as a chance to learn to play a musical instrument.  Leaders indicated that the school’s policy limits the information pupils receive about all of the protected characteristics. As a result, regardless of their own faith and beliefs, pupils were not aware that people with protected characteristics, as set out in the 2010 Equality Act, should be respected.  At the previous inspection it was found that pupils had no access to accurate, up-to-date

p.1

Main inspection findings

and impartial careers guidance.  Pupils have been visited by representatives of some professions to talk about careers options since the last inspection. They have also received some information about a number of training options available to them. However, leaders are not planning or organising careers guidance in an effective way to ensure a broad range of advice is available. The standards related to careers guidance remain unmet.  Leaders have ensured that opportunities are now available to experience all of the required areas of learning. However, the other standards in Part 1 remain unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are now met. Part 2. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils Paragraph 5, 5(a), 5(b), 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii), 5, 5(b)(iii), 5(b)(iv), 5(b)(v), 5(b)(vi) and 5(b)(vii)  At the previous inspection pupils demonstrated little understanding of other cultures and

p.1

Main inspection findings

faiths. They had limited knowledge of public institutions, concepts relating to the rule of law and democracy.  Pupils’ knowledge and understanding remain very limited. Those who spoke with inspectors, including those in key stage 3, did not recognise the word democracy. Pupils struggled to remember details of a recent visit to a church. Their written work about Christmas focused on aspects of this festival unrelated to its religious meaning. Leaders confirmed that planned work about Judaism had yet to be taught to pupils. Pupils continue to lack sufficient guidance and information about some of the characteristics of people protected by law. As a result, standards remain unmet in this part of the regulations.  During the previous inspection it was discovered that staff had received no clear guidance or training to ensure that they offer a balanced presentation of views when discussing political issues.

p.2

Main inspection findings

 Since the previous inspection leaders have amended the written code of conduct to make expectations about impartiality clear. Pupils’ work provides evidence of teachers supporting discussions about issues such as testing on animals so that a balanced range of views can be considered. This aspect of the standards is now met.  Leaders have not ensured that all the requirements of the standards in this part are now met. Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraph 7, 7(a) and 7(b)  At the previous inspection safeguarding policies were not being implemented effectively. The most recent guidance from the Secretary of State was not being used. The designated safeguarding lead had not completed the required safeguarding training for over three years.  The designated person for safeguarding has not yet completed all of the enhanced training necessary to her role. She remains unclear about the content and purpose of

p.2

Main inspection findings

current statutory guidance. As a result, leaders continue to possess a weak oversight of safeguarding arrangements. They possess limited skills to recognise, assess and respond to risks. For example, a number of serious risks posed by the premises have not been picked up by leaders. They continue to rely on inaccurate information about what is required to check on the suitability of staff. Leaders have worked with the local authority to provide training for staff about the ‘Prevent’ duty. However, they have not used this training to guide an update to the school’s safeguarding policy. For example, the school’s arrangements for vetting visiting speakers is unclear. Therefore, these aspects of the standards continue to be unmet. Paragraph 9, 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) and 10  At the previous inspection written behaviour policies and the strategy to prevent bullying were not being implemented effectively. There were no logs of incidents of misbehaviour

p.2

Main inspection findings

or bullying.  Leaders have reviewed the behaviour policy and record instances of poor behaviour. However, the policy does not reflect all of the sanctions being used and particularly those most memorable to pupils. For example, pupils spoke of the use of a supervised reflection room for pupils who have behaved poorly. This is not referred to in the policy seen by inspectors. In addition, information about how more serious instances of poor behaviour are followed up is not recorded well. For example, leaders needed to rely on the memory of the headteacher to recall the follow up to a recent incident involving a pupil using racially abusive language. Therefore these requirements of the standards continue to be unmet. Paragraph 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15  Leaders have put in place additional fire-fighting equipment and ensured regular fire drills have been carried out since the last inspection. However, they are not ensuring

p.3

Main inspection findings

that all checks on fire safety equipment are recorded consistently. The policy on health and safety is not implemented effectively due to limitations in leaders’ skills to identify and promptly respond to risk. These standards therefore remain unmet.  During the previous inspection it was found that the school’s admissions register did not include all of the required information, such as pupils’ previous schools.  Leaders told inspectors that no pupils had left since the previous inspection. However, the dates of birth of pupils recorded in the register seen indicates that there are no longer any pupils on roll over the age of 16. This is different to inspection findings at the previous inspection. Leaders have still not provided information about the previous education of current pupils. They have added a column to the admissions register to record destinations of future leavers but this does not contain any information.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Therefore, the standard related to the admissions register remains unmet.  Inspectors found instances during the inspection when the supervision of pupils was unacceptable. Leaders are not ensuring their expectations about the supervision of pupils are being adhered to. The standard related to the supervision of pupils remains unmet. Paragraph 16, 16(a) and 16(b)  At the previous inspection no risk assessments were in place to consider locations when members of the public share the premises. Risk assessments were of poor quality, especially those related to the premises.  A written risk assessment policy is in place but leaders and staff lack the necessary skills to assess risks effectively. Inspectors identified a number of serious potential risks to pupils which had not been picked up through the implementation of the risk assessment policy. Therefore, the standards related to risk assessment remain unmet.

p.3

Main inspection findings

 Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are now met. Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors Paragraph 18(2), 18(2)(a), 18(2)(b), 18(2)(d), 18(2)(e), 21(3), 21(3)(a), 21(3)(a)(ii), 21(3)(a)(iii), 21(3)(a)(v), 21(3)(a)(vi), 21(3)(a)(viii) and 21(3)(b)  The previous inspection found a number of shortcomings in the recording and checking of the suitability of staff.  After the previous inspection leaders carried out and recorded checks on the medical suitability of staff. This aspect of the standards is now met. Inspectors could find no evidence of continued shared use of the premises which was a concern at the last inspection.  However, several members of staff have still not been subject to Disclosure and Barring Service checks and gaps remain in the single central record. Furthermore, the record indicates that overseas checks are not applicable to most staff, while leaders indicate

p.3

Main inspection findings

that some had previously lived in Iran. The single central record contains inaccurate and incomplete information. Leaders are not using these checks effectively to promote the safety of pupils. Therefore, the standards in this part of the regulations remain unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are now met. Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools Paragraph 23(1), 23(1)(a), 23(1)(c), 24(1), 24(1)(a) , 24(1)(b), 25, 27, 27(a), 27(b), 28(1) and 28(1)(a)  At the previous inspection it was found that the school’s premises were in disrepair and posed a risk to users. Not all of the checks necessary to ensure safety had been made. Arrangements for fire safety and first aid were insufficient to meet the requirements of the standards.  While leaders have taken some steps to improve the maintenance of the premises, it remains in a poor state of repair and cleanliness. For example, some pupil toilets had

p.4

Main inspection findings

bins piled with tissues early on the morning of the inspection. Graffiti could be seen in some classrooms on walls and furniture. No attempt has been made to remove this. Leaders have low expectations for the state of repair and cleanliness of the premises. These aspects of the standards remain unmet.  The school has an area for pupils to change for physical education but only one shower for all pupils to use. In practice, this means pupils over the age of 11 do not have the opportunity to shower after physical education. This is insufficient to meet the requirements of the standards.  Since the previous inspection a medical room with the necessary facilities to meet the requirements of the standards had been made available. Hot water is now available, which leaders say is controlled to guard against scalding. Drinking water is labelled and accessible to pupils. In addition, lighting both in classrooms and outside has been

p.4

Main inspection findings

improved so that it meets the standards required.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are now met. Part 6. Provision of information Paragraph 32(1), 32(1)(a), 32(1)(b), 32(1)(c), 32(2), 32(2)(c), 32(2)(d), 32(3), 32(3)(a), 32(3)(c), 32(3)(d) and 32(3)(f)  At the previous inspection a number of omissions were evident in the information available to parents and carers. The school did not have a website.  Since the previous inspection leaders have produced a prospectus to help parents find information about the school. It explains how to obtain policies about the curriculum. However, it does not mention the safeguarding policy. It does not set out how to correspond with the chair of the governing body. Some, but not all, of the standards in this part of the regulations are now met.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are now

p.4

Main inspection findings

met. Part 7. Manner in which complaints are handled Paragraph 33, 33(a), 33(b), 33(c), 33(d), 33(e), 33(f)), 33(g), 33(h), 33(i), 33(i)(i), 33(i)(ii), 33(j), 33(j)(i) and 33(j)(ii)  The complaints procedures and policy did not meet the requirement of the standards at the last inspection.  The complaints policy now complies with most aspects of the regulations.  Leaders have recorded a number of informal complaints. However, there are no dates assigned to them. As a result, there is no clear record of the number of complaints received in a given time. This aspect of the standards therefore continues to be unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are now met. Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools Paragraph 34(1), 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b) and 34(1)(c)  Leaders continue to demonstrate insufficient skills and knowledge in attempting to meet the independent school standards. Some of the weaknesses in risk assessment and

p.5

Main inspection findings

checks on the suitability of staff pose a direct potential risk to the welfare of pupils. Therefore, all of the standards in this part of the regulations remain unmet.  As at the time of the previous inspection, the school continues to operate outside of the age range for which it is registered. Pupils under the age of six years old continue to attend the school. Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010  Since the previous inspection leaders have set out a strategic accessibility plan. This outlines aspects of accessibility to the premises, information and the curriculum, which leaders intend to improve.

p.5

Compliance with regulatory requirements

The school does not meet the requirements of the schedule to The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014 (‘the independent school standards’) and associated requirements that were checked during this inspection. This included the standards and requirements that the school was judged to not comply with at the previous inspection. Not all of the standards and associated requirements were checked during this inspection.
