p.1
Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards are met. Leaders do not take all the necessary precautions to safeguard pupils. Statutory pre-employment checks on staff are incomplete. Recruitment processes are too informal. The site is not safe. Essential safety work to protect and keep pupils safe is incomplete. Staff do not receive sufficient training to equip them with the skills to do their job. Teachers‟ expectations of pupils are too low. Some teachers set work that is too easy, and others do not guide pupils through difficult concepts well. Current staff issues result in frequent changes that unsettle pupils. The reduced curriculum does not meet pupils‟ needs well enough. Leaders do not monitor standards of teaching, learning and assessment sufficiently well. Leaders‟ self-evaluation does not accurately reflect the school, and development plans miss out key issues for improvement.
p.1
Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
Leaders do not provide teachers with clear information on what pupils know and can do. Pupils‟ attendance is poor, meaning that they make too little progress. Staff do not have suitable job descriptions and are not held accountable for pupils‟ progress. The relationship breakdown between the directors means the school does not currently provide what pupils need. Governors spend too much time mediating between directors. There are no clear systems in place for them to hold leaders to account.
p.1
Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
Leaders and staff are passionate about helping pupils to be successful in their learning. Pupils who attend behave well. During the inspection, pupils were pleasant and polite. Pupils develop well spiritually, morally, socially, and culturally through, for example, social breakfasts and mealtimes. Inside the school building, pupils enjoy a homely and welcoming environment.
p.1
Summary of key findings for parents and pupils
The school must take action to meet the requirements of the schedule to The Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014 and associated requirements. The details are listed in the full report.
p.1
What does the school need to do to improve further?
Urgently address the weaknesses in the school‟s systems for ensuring pupils‟ safety and well-being by: – taking the actions listed in the health and safety policy, so that the school site is safe – carrying out high-quality risk assessments for any activity that might compromise pupils‟ safety – making sure that all necessary pre-appointment checks for staff are carried out, as required by law – making sure that the school‟s single central record of recruitment checks is compliant with current requirements – maintaining an admissions register that is compliant with current requirements – ensuring that a log of behavioural incidents is maintained that complies with the independent school standards. Improve leadership and management by ensuring that: – clear systems are established by which governors can support leaders, but also hold them to account for their performance – leaders have a secure understanding of the school‟s weaknesses and that these are

reflected in accurate self-evaluation and effective school improvement planning – leaders establish effective systems for monitoring the quality of teaching, learning and assessment – leaders systematically check on the school‟s effectiveness and ensure that the independent school standards are being met consistently – all members of staff have a clear understanding of what their job entails, so that they know what they are expected to do, are supported to do it and are held to account for their performance. Improve the quality of teaching, learning and outcomes by ensuring that: – all teachers have sufficiently high expectations of what pupils can achieve, so that pupils make good progress from their starting points – information gathered on pupils when they join the school is used by teachers to set work that meets their needs – staff have the skills and expertise to guide pupils to achieve more and to support

them better when they are struggling. Establish effective systems to support pupils to improve their attendance. The school must meet the independent school standards, as set out in the annex of this report.
p.2
Effectiveness of leadership and management Inadequate
Leaders have not ensured that the site is safe. The lack of communication between directors means that they are unable to work together effectively. This has affected leaders‟ ability to provide adequate provision across many areas of the school‟s work. Leaders and governors do not have a thorough understanding of the independent school standards. Too many standards are not met, including essential aspects linked to safeguarding, behaviour, fire safety, admissions, supervision and risk assessments. There is little in the way of strategic planning for the school. Self-evaluation and development plans are weak and do not reflect current issues. Leaders and governors are not clear about their respective responsibilities, including their roles in addressing urgent priorities. The curriculum is not sufficiently developed to meet pupils‟ needs. Schemes of work lack depth. Leaders have not realised their vision of a high-quality academic and vocational
p.3
Effectiveness of leadership and management Inadequate
provision for pupils who do not cope in mainstream education. Pupils currently follow a narrowed curriculum that does not develop their skills, knowledge and understanding widely enough. Systems for monitoring how well pupils progress are not effective. While teachers keep records of pupils‟ achievements, these are not collated centrally. As a result, leaders do not have an overall picture of how well pupils are achieving over time. The procedures for monitoring the quality of teaching are not well established and are not used to inform teachers‟ training needs to help them improve their practice. Leaders have not ensured that all staff have up-to-date job descriptions, meaning that staff are unclear about their responsibilities. As a result, leaders find it difficult to hold staff to account for the quality of teachers‟ work. Leaders have not implemented effective strategies to tackle poor attendance. In addition,
p.3
Effectiveness of leadership and management Inadequate
leaders have not always provided an environment that offers the security, consistency and safety that pupils need. School leaders have not put in place an accessibility plan, as required by schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010. Leaders have not maintained a record of sanctions imposed on pupils for poor behaviour, in line with the independent school standards. The headteacher articulates her intentions and plans well. She acknowledges that she has „failed to launch‟ many of her ideas, plans and processes for monitoring the effectiveness of the school. Staff welcome pupils into school each morning at the breakfast club. This is a real strength. The warmth and care shown by individual staff help promote pupils‟ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well. Over toast and tea, staff and pupils discuss other people‟s views, faiths and beliefs. For example, they talk about „pupils who have
p.3
Effectiveness of leadership and management Inadequate
two mums or two dads‟ and appreciate that everyone is unique. Pupils listen carefully to each other‟s views and demonstrate clearly the values of respect and tolerance.
p.3
Governance
Governance is not effective. Since the school was registered in April 2018, two governors have been appointed. They have not yet had any impact on improving the school because too much of their time has been spent mediating between the directors. Currently, there are no clear systems in place for governors to challenge and support leaders to implement improvements swiftly. Governors have not held school leaders to account, to ensure that leaders have met the independent school standards. The chair of governors has a clear understanding of the strategic issues and the impact these are having on pupils. He recognises that the current arrangements are untenable. The governors bring a range of valuable experience and desirable skills. These skills have not yet been put to use to improve the school.
p.4
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. The school site is not safe. Prior to the end of the inspection, the inspector contacted the local authority to make it aware of the concerns. The local authority has since made alternative arrangements so that pupils are not exposed to further risks to their safety and well-being at these premises. The quality of some risk assessments is poor. They do not take account of some very real dangers to pupils‟ safety, for example ensuring adequate supervision. School policies are not being implemented effectively. For example, the health and safety policy has not been implemented well and fire drills are not frequent enough, which puts pupils at risk. Leaders have not taken all reasonable precautions when employing staff. Systems to recruit staff are not robust and some of the necessary vetting checks have not taken place. Staff have not been assessed to check whether they were physically and mentally
p.4
Safeguarding
fit for their role, and nor were any prohibition from teaching checks completed. At the start of the inspection, the school‟s safeguarding policy was out of date. This was updated before the end of the inspection and now reflects the latest statutory guidance. It is published on the school‟s website and available to parents and carers as a hard copy on request. The designated safeguarding lead has not undertaken training for the role within the past two years. This is the minimum expected by the current statutory guidance. All staff have received up-to-date safeguarding training. They have also received training on local issues, such as „county lines‟. Staff have received training about the „Prevent‟ duty to protect children from radicalisation and being drawn into terrorism. Files relating to child protection incidents are maintained well. They include a chronological sequence of events, a record of the actions taken, and details of any

resolution. Attendance registers and the admissions register do not contain all the required information.
p.4
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Inadequate
Owing to the complete breakdown in the relationships at director level, the headteacher admits that she has been unable to provide the level of service she envisaged. She readily adds, „I have been stalling things that I know will really engage pupils because we have been working with our hands tied behind our backs.‟ Assessment information is not used well enough. From looking through pupils‟ books over time, it was clear that they often complete identical tasks to their peers, irrespective of their age or starting points. Some pupils find the work too easy, others too hard. Ultimately, the work set fails to fill the gaps in pupils‟ learning effectively. The headteacher acknowledges that the system to provide all teachers with information about pupils to help them plan effectively is still a work in progress. Almost all pupils join the school having experienced disruption in their education, leading
p.5
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Inadequate
to missed periods of education and gaps in their learning. The frequent changes at the school this term, including the use of temporary staff, do not give vulnerable pupils the continuity in teaching that they need. Some staff do not have sufficient knowledge and understanding of teaching and assessment. For example, in mathematics, staff lack the expertise to guide pupils skilfully through more challenging concepts, to help them achieve higher standards. The teaching of English is better than in other subjects and pupils make better progress as a result. Learning activities have a clearly planned focus. Teachers‟ use of challenging texts supports pupils to develop their understanding of key literary devices, such as idioms and hyperbole. Vibrant wall displays, and effective use of praise and reward, motivate pupils who do attend. They respond by presenting their work neatly, working hard and successfully
p.5
Quality of teaching, learning and assessment Inadequate
completing activities. Pupils receive a one-to-one careers interview and are supported with college visits and open days. Some pupils complete work experience placements that can lead to offers of apprenticeships. In class, pupils are guided on how to complete a meaningful CV.
p.5
Personal development and welfare
The school‟s work to promote pupils‟ personal development and welfare is inadequate. The school‟s site is unsuitable, and pupils are not safe. Pupils enjoy their social breakfast times. They learn valuable social skills by listening to the viewpoints of others, waiting their turn in conversation, and sharing the workload when clearing up after breakfast. Pupils say that they get on well with each other and that bullying is very rare. Activities are organised well to help pupils develop empathy and an appreciation of the difficulties others might face. For example, pupils organised a charity coffee morning to benefit members of the local community and visited a care home for the elderly. Staff make good use of the local leisure centre and park for pupils‟ physical education. However, suitable shower facilities are not available after lessons take place in the park. Staff are passionate about the school and committed to the pupils. They meet most
p.5
Personal development and welfare
pupils‟ social and emotional needs well. Pupils benefit from „travel training‟ that supports them well in their journey to becoming more independent and self-confident.
p.6
Behaviour
The behaviour of pupils is inadequate. Pupils‟ attendance is poor. The recent issues between the directors have „spilled over‟ into school life, making some pupils unsettled and anxious. This has had a negative impact on pupils‟ attendance. Leaders were unable to provide evidence that records of behavioural incidents are kept. Although leaders say that pupils‟ behaviour improves once they start at the school, there is no evidence that this is the case. There is a student lounge to promote positive behaviour. This informal setting helps pupils to relax and allay concerns they may have. During the inspection, less than half of the pupils on roll were in school. When the inspector met these pupils, they were friendly, cooperative and helpful.
p.6
Outcomes for pupils Inadequate
During the inspection, leaders were able to provide very little information about, and evidence of, pupils‟ outcomes. Pupils‟ attendance is poor, and this restricts their progress. Their learning is hampered further by frequent changes in teaching staff, resulting in a lack of continuity, which pupils find difficult. Too often, pupils complete the same work as their peers, irrespective of their individual needs. This slows their progress. Because of the recent turmoil between adults at the school, pupils are on a reduced timetable to help them „resettle‟. This is helping pupils to readjust and get back into learning, but prevents them from developing a broad base of skills and knowledge across the curriculum. Pupils make better progress in English than in other subjects. They respond well to the activities and are starting to develop a range of useful literacy skills. Pupils respond well to the collective reading sessions, which help break down barriers to
p.6
Outcomes for pupils Inadequate
learning and promote the enjoyable side of reading. They readily discuss wider points made in reading, such as in the book being read currently, which explores issues linked to drugs, sex and relationships.
p.6
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
In April 2018, following two pre-registration inspections by Ofsted, in September 2017 and March 2018, the school was registered with the Department for Education (DfE) to admit a maximum of 24 pupils between the ages of 12 and 16 years. All pupils are funded by Norfolk local authority. Most pupils have social, emotional and mental health needs, and have previously experienced disruption in their learning. The school is not registered as a special school. The premises are located on the first floor of a rented warehouse, directly on the quayside. The proprietorial body originally comprised three directors. They are currently looking at ways to dissolve the partnership. The governing body currently consists of a chair and a vice-chair. The school does not use alternative providers. The school uses supply staff. Physical education is provided off site at the local park, leisure centre and swimming pool.
p.7
Information about this school
The inspector was aware during this inspection that serious allegations of a child protection nature were being investigated by the appropriate authorities. While Ofsted does not have the power to investigate allegations of this kind, actions taken in response to the allegations were considered alongside the other evidence available at the time to inform inspectors‟ judgements.
p.8
Information about this inspection
The inspection was carried out by one of Her Majesty‟s Inspectors and was the first standard inspection since the school opened in April 2018. The inspector conducted a tour of the site with one of the directors. The inspector scrutinised the single central register of employment checks for staff, governors and proprietors. The inspector also looked at policies relating to the independent school standards. Discussions were held with the three directors, one of whom is the headteacher, as well as staff, pupils, the chair and vice-chair of governors, and representatives from the local authority. The inspector observed pupils learning in each class, and observed their behaviour at breaktime, lunchtime and before and after lessons. The inspector looked at information about pupils‟ achievement, behaviour and attendance, the school‟s self-evaluation and improvement plans, and scrutinised pupils‟

work in lessons. Pupils‟ books from different year groups and subjects were checked to see progress over time. There were too few responses to Ofsted‟s free-text service and to the Ofsted online questionnaire, Parent View, to be reported on directly. The inspector considered the two responses to the Ofsted online staff survey.
