Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 2(1)(b)(ii), 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)(i), 3(b), 3(e), 3(h) and 3(i)  Leaders have taken account of fundamental British values in their proposed policies and plans. There is a clear strategy for promoting vales through assemblies and different aspects of the curriculum.  The schemes of work that are currently in place and the school’s timetable are likely to give pupils experiences in linguistic, mathematical, scientific, technological, human and social, physical and aesthetic and creative education. The curriculum and support proposed by the school also intends to develop pupils’ self-motivation and help them re-engage with learning. However, the curriculum does not fully take into account the needs and aptitudes of the pupils that the school proposes to admit.  The schemes of work and curriculum are likely to ensure that pupils acquire speaking,

p.1

Main inspection findings

listening, literacy and numeracy skills.  The school’s personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education reflects the school’s ethos and encourages respect for people. Leaders are able to set out a clear vision for how they want to improve pupils’ lives. The leaders’ aims and values state: ‘We will strive to always encourage children to think, communicate, collaborate and take decisions, to develop and promote a set of fundamental British values along with understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity.’  Leaders have considered the government’s most recent guidance on careers education. Leaders have resources in place to ensure that careers advice is impartial and encourages pupils to consider their skills and the kind of careers they may wish to undertake.  Leaders have held teaching responsibilities in other schools and demonstrate good knowledge and understanding of subject matter.  Strategies and arrangements for managing behaviour are appropriate. However,

p.1

Main inspection findings

leaders acknowledge that further consideration will need to be given to the management of exclusions and the system for offering any rewards to pupils.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

p.2

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 2(1), 2(1)(a), 2(1)(b), 2(1)(b)(i), 2(2), 2(2)(g), 2(2)(h), 3, 3(a), 3(c), 3(d), 3(f), 3(g), 3(j) and 4  Leaders have devised a range of schemes of work and plans to support learning. However, the majority of these plans are currently focused on GCSE accreditation. As such, the plans outline learning over two or three years with a view to pupils sitting examinations at the end of key stage 4. While these plans will support those pupils that are at age-related expectations, they will not offer an adequate curriculum to any pupils who have gaps in their learning or those who are working at lower levels. Leaders propose to admit pupils who may well have significant gaps in their learning or may find mainstream education difficult to access. Curriculum plans therefore do not fully reflect the needs and aptitudes of the pupils that the school plans to teach.  The school proposes to teach pupils aged 16 to 19 years. Leaders have not developed

p.2

Main inspection findings

programmes of study to support this age group. Leaders have not yet taken account of the government’s 16 to 19 study programme guidance.  Given the shortcomings in the school’s curriculum plans, it is not yet clear how all pupils will be given the opportunity to learn and make progress. Lesson plans do not yet reflect the needs and prior attainment of pupils.  The quality of resources currently available is limited. While the area designated for day-to-day teaching is appropriate, the resources for teaching physical education, and those for outdoor play, were found to be in a poor condition at the time of the inspection.  Leaders have established a framework for assessment and performance for pupils that study for GCSEs. However, the framework does not take sufficient account of the needs and aptitudes of pupils who may not be ready to study GCSEs and require support to address gaps in their learning and basic skills.

p.2

Main inspection findings

Paragraph 5  Leaders have devised assembly plans that clearly set out the promotion of fundamental British values. Leaders demonstrate a strong understanding of these values. They are able to explain how and why they have relevance and importance to the community that they propose to serve.  Policies and plans include references to the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010. Leaders demonstrate a good understanding of the protected characteristics and how they plan to ensure that they are understood and respected by pupils.  Leaders demonstrate a good understanding of the importance of offering pupils a balanced presentation of opposing views.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils

p.3

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 7, 7(a), 9, 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 10 and 12  Leaders have devised a safeguarding policy. The policy is available for prospective parents and carers. One of the school’s directors is the proposed designated safeguarding lead (DSL). The DSL demonstrates a good understanding of how to manage a concern about a child and the importance of working with other agencies. The DSL has attended relevant training and has a good working knowledge of child protection issues and risk factors.  The school’s behaviour policy is appropriate and sets out how any sanctions will be recorded.  The school’s anti-bullying policy states that: ‘Bullying is a form of antisocial behaviour that has no place in our school.’ The policy sets out the school’s expectations of all stakeholders and explains that everyone must work together against bullying. The policy is appropriate.  The school will let a number of rooms within an existing complex of buildings. It is

p.3

Main inspection findings

primarily the landlord’s responsibility to ensure full compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The building has appropriate fire routes and exits, a fire risk assessment has been undertaken and firefighting equipment is regularly serviced and checked. Leaders have undertaken fire marshal training.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 7, 7(b), 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16(a) and 16(b)  The school’s safeguarding policy does not take account of all of the guidance issued by the Secretary of State. There is no reference to the school’s arrangements for safeguarding peer-on-peer abuse or sexting.  The school does have a written health and safety policy but this does not take sufficient account of the proposed building and other areas that pupils may visit. For example, the policy does not take account of the risks associated with shared usage; i.e. many different organisations use the centre. Leaders have not considered how this may impact on the day-to-day running of the school.  Leaders have established procedures for administering first aid but acknowledge that they have not all attended training. The first aid procedures cannot be implemented effectively without a higher level of first aid training.  Leaders have not established a formal policy for supervision and the appropriate

p.3

Main inspection findings

deployment of staff. At this stage, it is not clear how many staff will be required, what shift patterns they will work and how pupils will be supervised throughout the school day.  The school has not yet devised a framework for registering the pupils who are admitted to the school. Leaders have not established registers for recording the daily attendance of pupils.  Although the centre has a comprehensive risk assessment, this has not been adapted to take account of the presence of a school and pupils. The risk assessment does not yet detail actions that may need to be taken to reduce any potential risks for pupils.  Leaders have not ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

This includes a check under section 128 of the 2008 Act.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

The proprietor has not yet established arrangements for how these checks will be made, who will satisfy themselves that checks are adequate or how they will be recorded.  Suitability checks have not yet been completed for the proprietor. Leaders stated that a request has been made to the department for education for an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check but this has not yet been returned. Checks relating to the proprietors identity, including their right to work in the United Kingdom, further

p.4

Main inspection findings

checks as appropriate subject to their having lived or worked outside the United Kingdom and a check under section 128 of the 2008 Act have not been verified or recorded in the single central record.  Leaders have not ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools

p.4

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 23(1), 23(1)(a), 23(1)(b), 23(1)(c), 24(2), 26, 27(b), 28(1)(a), 28(1)(b), 28(1)(d), 28(2), 28(2)(a) and 28(2)(b)  The leaders have ensured that there are suitable toilet and washing facilities for the sole use of pupils. The school also has changing accommodation and a shower.  The acoustic conditions of the rooms that the school proposes to use are suitable for the activities that will take place.  The premises have appropriate external lighting.  There are suitable drinking facilities, toilet areas have hot and cold water available and the hot water does not pose a scalding risk. These facilities are readily accessible at all times.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

p.5

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 24(1), 24(1)(a), 24(1)(b), 25, 27, 27(a), 28(1), 28(1)(c), 29(1), 29(1)(a) and 29(1)(b)  Leaders have identified an area for the medical and therapy needs of pupils. However, the area is open plan with no level of privacy. It is therefore not yet suitable should a pupil require first aid treatment or any necessary level of privacy.  Cold water supplies that are suitable for drinking have not been labelled as such.  The school premises and available outdoor space are not maintained to an acceptable standard. Some common areas at the entrance to the main building have old resources and sofas in them. The entrance to the proposed venue for sports activities is quite dark and has broken materials in it. Mains service cupboards for electricity are easily accessible. Externally, there are some storage areas that were unlocked at the time of the inspection. The accommodation and facilities are therefore not yet at a

p.5

Main inspection findings

standard at which pupils’ health, safety and welfare could reasonably be ensured.  Given the condition of the outdoor space, the area is currently not suitable for pupils to play in. The centre has some barbed wire along a perimeter fence at the rear of one of the buildings, which is unsafe. Some of the wire is trailing and at head height. Inspectors spoke to the executive director of the centre who stated that the inspection findings relating to the premises would be addressed immediately.  Some internal lighting is not in full working order.  Leaders have not ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

p.5

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 32(1)(g), 32(2)(d), 32(3)(c) and 32(3)(f)  Leaders have devised a statement that sets out the school’s ethos and aims.  The curriculum policy and complaints policy are available for prospective parents.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

Paragraphs 32(1), 32(1)(a), 32(1)(b), 32(1)(c), 32(1)(f), 32(2), 32(2)(a), 32(2)(b), 32(2)(b)(i), 32(2)(b)(ii), 32(2)(c), 32(3), 32(3)(a), 32(3)(b), 32(3)(d) and 32(3)(e)  Leaders plan to produce a handbook for parents that will include the majority of the information required under part 6 of the independent school standards. As this document is not yet available, several paragraphs are unmet. The school does not currently have a website. The following standards and information are currently not available for parents: the school’s address, telephone number and name of headteacher; the proprietor’s details for correspondence; particulars of the school’s arrangements for pupils who speak English as an additional language; and an appropriate health and safety policy.  Leaders have not ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

Main inspection findings

Paragraph 33  The school’s complaints policy includes all of the relevant requirements of the standard. These include: a clear timescale; opportunities for a complaint to be heard informally and formally; provision for a hearing before a panel; and arrangements for the recording of complaints and any resulting actions.  Leaders have ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

Main inspection findings

Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools

p.6

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 34(1), 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b) and 34(1)(c)  Leaders are able to explain a clear vision for their proposed school. They wish to offer learning opportunities to pupils who may be experiencing difficulties accessing mainstream education.  Leaders have invested time sourcing a wide range of resources to support learning. They recognise that the resources do not yet adequately take account of the aptitudes and needs of the pupils they propose to admit.  Leaders are positive, receptive and anxious to address any shortcomings. They have skills and experience that will support them to operate a prospective school. However, at this stage there are a number of unmet standards. Leaders are not yet familiar enough with the independent school standards to ensure that they are likely to be met.  Shortcomings in relation to the school’s proposed premises and some aspects of health and safety currently undermine the extent to which leaders can demonstrate

p.6

Main inspection findings

that they are able to actively promote the well-being of pupils.  Leaders have not ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

p.7

Main inspection findings

 Leaders have not yet written an accessibility plan. The school’s main classroom is situated at the bottom of a staircase. Consideration has not yet been given to how this can be fully accessible. There is no action plan that sets out how the school intends to increase access to the school’s curriculum for disabled pupils, or how it intends to improve the delivery of written information.

p.7

Compliance with regulatory requirements

The school is unlikely to meet the requirements of the schedule to the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014 (‘the independent school standards’) and associated requirements, as set out in the annex of this report.

p.7

Proposed school details
