Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided Paragraphs 2(1), 2(1)(a), 2(1)(b)(i), 2(1)(b)(ii), 2(2), 2(2)(a), 2(2)(b), 2(2)(d), 2(2)(d)(i), 2(2)(d)(ii), 2(2)(e), 2(2)(e)(i), 2(2)(e)(ii), 2(2)(e)(iii), 2(2)(h), 2(2)(i), 3, 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(f), 3(g), 3(i) and 4  At the time of the previous inspection, leaders did not provide a planned programme of study for each subject. The school‟s curriculum was neither broad nor balanced and provided insufficient careers guidance and support.  This inspection found no evidence of any improvement to the curriculum or assessment.  The inspector was shown some sparse „medium term plans‟ from another school; none have been adapted to meet the needs of pupils in this school.  There continues to be no arrangement for impartial careers information, advice and guidance.  Year 11 pupils confirmed that the personal, social, health and economic education programme has been replaced with GCSE revision sessions.

p.1

Main inspection findings

 As a result, the paragraphs listed above continue to be unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the 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)(v) and 5(b)(vi)  At the time of the previous inspection, the school‟s promotion of pupils‟ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development was ineffective. Pupils had a limited understanding about people of different faiths other than their own. The school‟s curriculum did not promote pupils‟ respect for people with protected characteristics.  This inspection found pupils to be articulate and respectful. They know about equality and respect, and said they visited a church a year ago. However, there is no evidence that the school‟s work to promote pupils‟ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development has improved. Any changes to policy or planning were unavailable during

p.1

the inspection.  As a result, the paragraphs listed above continue to be unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the standards in this part are now met. Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraphs 7, 7(a), 7(b), 9, 9(b), 9(c), 15, 16, 16(a) and 16(b)  At the time of the previous inspection, the school had not put in place suitably robust systems to safeguard pupils. The school‟s safeguarding practice and policy did not reflect the latest statutory guidance. Risk assessments were not used consistently to evaluate the risks posed to pupils. Leaders did not ensure that records of incidents of sanctions for misbehaviour were kept.  Safeguarding arrangements are inadequate. The headteacher is the designated safeguarding leader; evidence of his training for this role was unavailable. In his absence, such as during the inspection, there is nobody to deputise. The safeguarding policy made available to the inspector is not suitable. It is too sparse, pays no regard to

p.1

Main inspection findings

statutory guidance and is out of date. The school‟s single central record of recruitment checks continues to not meet requirements.  The school‟s behaviour policy continues to be poorly implemented. There was no record of sanctions for misbehaviour available during the inspection.  The admission register still does not meet requirements. There is missing information for a very few pupils and their previous schools are not recorded in full.  There continues to be no risk assessment policy. There has not been a single written risk assessment undertaken since the previous inspection.  As a result, the paragraphs listed above continue to be unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the standards in this part are now met. Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors Paragraphs 18(1), 18(2)(a), 18(2)(b), 18(2)(c), 18(2)(c)(i), 18(2)(c)(ii), 18(2)(c)(iii), 18(2)(c)(iv), 18(2)(d), 18(2)(e), 18(3), 20(6), 20(6)(a), 20(6)(a)(i), 20(6)(a)(ii), 20(6)(b),

Main inspection findings

20(6)(b)(i), 20(6)(b)(ii), 20(6)(b)(iii), 20(6)(c), 21(1), 21(2), 21(3), 21(3)(a), 21(3)(a)(i), 21(3)(a)(ii), 21(3)(a)(iii), 21(3)(a)(iv), 21(3)(a)(v), 21(3)(a)(vi), 21(3)(a)(vii), 21(3)(a)(viii), 21(3)(b) and 21(6)  At the time of the previous inspection, the school‟s single central record of recruitment checks did not contain all the required information. Neither the proprietor nor leaders were aware of the latest statutory requirements regarding staff recruitment.  This inspection confirmed that the single central record continues to be an unreliable document. A number of the required checks on some staff, including the headteacher and two teachers, are missing. Checks are not consistently dated and initialled by those responsible for undertaking them.  The proprietor is not included on the single central record. He has not been subject to the required statutory checks.  As a result, the paragraphs listed above continue to be unmet.

p.2

Main inspection findings

 Leaders have not ensured that the standards in this part are now met. Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools Paragraph 25  At the time of the previous inspection, the proprietor and leaders had not maintained the site to a suitably high standard to ensure pupils‟ health, safety and welfare. The inspector noted broken computers and furniture, graffiti, damaged walls and a poor standard of decoration.  This inspection found, again, the state of the premises to be very poor. There are broken chairs, computers and keyboards lying around, books piled high and the environment has too much clutter. There are holes in the computer room walls, piles of cables on the floor and tatty, out-of-date displays throughout the building. There is graffiti on the toilet door. The premises are unclean and unheated; during the inspection pupils wore coats and gloves in one classroom because it was so cold. There is water damage to the

p.2

Main inspection findings

ceiling throughout the premises. A little more than half of the lightbulbs were seen to be working. The reception area is very untidy, including broken shredders and water coolers marked „do not use‟. The environment is not conducive to learning.  As a result, the paragraph listed above continues to be unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the standards in this part are now met. Part 6. Provision of information Paragraphs 32(1), 32(1)(c) and 32(1)(f)  At the time of the previous inspection, the annual written reports to parents and carers did not include information about pupils‟ academic progress, commenting only on pupils‟ attainment and effort.  Annual written reports to parents and carers were not made available during the inspection. It is not known as to whether they have been adapted to include pupils‟ progress.  The school‟s safeguarding policy is not available online or in hard copy, as the school is

p.3

Main inspection findings

unable to print documents and has no hard copies of the policy readily available.  As a result, 32(1)(f) continues to be unmet and 32(1)(c) is additionally judged as unmet.  Leaders have not ensured that the 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)  The new proprietor and headteacher have not taken effective action since the previous full inspection. At that time, leaders were not effective in ensuring that the independent school standards were met fully.  Some evidence was not available during the inspection because of the headteacher‟s absence. No one could provide this information as it had not been shared with them.  The proprietor confirmed his intention to close the school in May 2018. This was partly the reason given for the current poor state of the premises.  This inspection confirms that all the independent school standards previously judged as

p.3

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, as set out in the annex of this report. This included the standards and requirements that the school was judged to not comply with at the previous inspection in July 2017. Not all of the standards and associated requirements were checked during this inspection.

p.4

School details

This inspection was carried out under section 109(1) and (2) of the Education and Skills Act 2008, the purpose of which is to advise the Secretary of State for Education about the school‟s suitability for continued registration as an independent school.

Information about this school

 Al Ashraaf Secondary School is a Muslim day school registered to provide full-time education for up to 60 boys aged 11 to 16. There are currently 40 pupils on roll. All pupils are in key stage 4. The majority (32) are in Year 11.  The school is no longer part of the Al Falah Educational Trust. Since September 2017, the sole proprietor has been Irfan Qayum. The registration authority is not aware of this change and the proprietor has not been subject to the required statutory vetting checks.  In September 2017, a new headteacher joined the school. He was not present during the inspection.  While all the pupils in attendance are Muslim, pupils of all faiths are welcome.  There are no pupils who have an education, health and care plan.  The school does not make use of any alternative providers.  The previous inspection was a full standard inspection in July 2017.  The school does not have a website.

p.5

Information about this school

 The proprietor has very recently decided to close the school in May 2018, due to the imminent redevelopment of the premises.

p.6

Information about this inspection

 This inspection was carried out at the request of the registration authority for independent schools. The purpose of the inspection was to monitor the progress the school has made in meeting the independent school standards and other requirements that it was judged to not comply with at its previous inspection.  In July 2017, a full standard inspection of the school judged it to be inadequate. The school submitted an action plan. Ofsted‟s review of this plan in December 2017 judged it to be acceptable with modifications. This inspection was the school‟s first progress monitoring inspection and was conducted without notice.  The inspection focused on the school‟s progress against specific requirements within Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 of the independent school standards.  In the absence of the headteacher, the inspector conducted the inspection in collaboration with an administrator and the proprietor.

p.7

Information about this inspection

 The inspector toured the premises and scrutinised a range of relevant documentation, including that relating to safeguarding, health and safety and risk assessment. He also met a group of pupils in Year 11 and observed learning in all classes.  There were no recent responses to Ofsted‟s online survey (Parent View) at the time of the inspection.
