Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided Paragraph 2(2), 2(2)(a)  The previous inspection found that the curriculum did not provide pupils with sufficient opportunities to develop their skills, knowledge and understanding across the full range of subjects. Pupils did not study art, while a lack of staff resulted in the frequent cancellation of physical education (PE) lessons.  The curriculum now provides pupils with opportunities to learn across the full range of subjects. Pupils have art lessons as well as weekly PE lessons.  The school meets the requirements of this part of the independent school standard. Paragraphs 2(2), 2(2)(e), 2(2)(e)(i), 2(2)(e)(ii), 2(2)(e)(iii)  The previous inspection found that senior leaders had not put into place all their planned actions to improve careers education, advice and guidance. The programme for personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education, for example, did not include

p.1

Main inspection findings

careers guidance. A planned programme of visits by people working in different professions had not taken place.  The PSHE programme now contains opportunities for pupils to receive careers advice and guidance. Pupils have met people who work in a broad range of professions, including journalism, law, medicine and chemical engineering. Pupils in all year groups have also visited a national exhibition on careers.  The school meets the requirements of these parts of the independent school standard. Paragraphs 3, 3(a), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e), 3(g)  The previous inspection found that pupils made uneven progress across the curriculum. Pupils received work that lacked sufficient challenge, with pupils sometimes completing work that was below that expected for their age. Teachers did not accurately assess pupils‟ skills in reading. Senior leaders had not checked that teachers‟ assessment of pupils‟ work was accurate.

p.1

Main inspection findings

 Pupils continue to make uneven progress across the curriculum.  Some pupils who left the school in 2018 having completed their GCSE subjects did not make the progress they should have, including in English and mathematics. Some pupils‟ progress was weak, leading to low attainment.  The school‟s own performance information shows that current pupils are making variable progress. Too many pupils are not making the progress that they should, across a range of subjects.  Work in pupils‟ books indicates that many pupils fail to make sufficient progress in the development of their knowledge. Often, pupils‟ knowledge is superficial, lacking the necessary depth to enable them to apply their learning to other contexts and more complex questions. In turn, pupils are not able to develop fully such skills as inference, analysis and evaluation.  Some teachers‟ subject knowledge is not secure, particularly in the subjects that they

p.1

Main inspection findings

teach outside their own specialism. Where this is the case, teachers do not have a sufficient understanding of how to plan suitably challenging tasks and how to use effective resources to enable pupils to make good progress.  A lack of secure subject knowledge also limits teachers‟ ability to ask the right questions to check pupils‟ understanding. Teachers are not sufficiently capable of identifying and clarifying pupils‟ misconceptions.  Teachers‟ assessment of pupils‟ learning is inconsistent. Not all teachers check pupils‟ understanding effectively and adapt learning appropriately, either during lessons or when reviewing pupils‟ completed work in their books.  Through their termly checks on pupils‟ progress, senior leaders identify pupils who have fallen behind, to ensure that they receive further support. However, leaders do not use these checks effectively to identify where classroom practice is not of a high-enough

p.2

Main inspection findings

quality to secure pupils‟ good progress and to prevent pupils from falling behind in the first place.  Senior leaders‟ evaluation of the quality of teaching is over-generous and does not match the records that they keep of their visits to lessons. Leaders‟ evaluation of the quality of teaching does not take sufficient account of pupils‟ progress over time. Pupils make variable progress across a range of subjects because classroom practice is not of a high-enough quality.  Senior leaders have recognised that a key area for improvement to teaching is to ensure that the teachers understand how to set work at the right level. They have provided training to resolve this. However, this training has yet to bring about the necessary improvement to the effectiveness with which teachers plan for pupils‟ learning.  Teachers now undertake appropriate assessments of pupils‟ reading skills.  The school does not meet the requirements of these parts of the independent school

p.2

Main inspection findings

Part 2. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils Paragraphs 5, 5(a), 5(b), 5(b)(i), 5(b)(ii), 5(b)(iii), 5(b)(iv), 5(b)(v), 5(b)(vi), 5(b)(vii), 5(c), 5(d), 5(d)(i), 5(d(ii), 5(d)(iii)  The curriculum, including the PSHE programme and GCSE citizenship, provides pupils with opportunities to learn about fundamental British values, respecting other people and knowing the difference between right and wrong.  Off-site visits which complement the curriculum enable pupils to learn about the local community and to understand different cultures and beliefs. For example, pupils have recently visited Leicester Cathedral and a synagogue. Through this, pupils learn the importance of respecting different opinions and beliefs.  The PSHE programme provides pupils with opportunities to develop their self-esteem.  Pupils learn about the importance of living healthy lives, and the negative effects of

p.2

Main inspection findings

making unhealthy decisions, including those related to drugs.  Pupils have undertaken a visit to a local court to develop their understanding of the law.  Through visits from a local „Prevent‟ education officer, pupils have learned about the dangers of hate crime and how to keep themselves safe when online.  Pupils‟ books demonstrate that the work that they complete does not always allow them to become secure in their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. For example, some pupils have developed only a basic understanding of democratic systems.  The school meets all of the requirements of the independent school standard.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraphs 7, 7(a), 7(b)  The previous inspection found that senior leaders and staff did not understand their duties in relation to safeguarding.  At the previous inspection, senior leaders had failed to undertake all the relevant recruitment checks, including checking references before staff had taken up their posts. This continues to be the case. Senior leaders do not always ensure that they have received and checked references before staff begin to work at the school.  Senior leaders do not undertake sufficient checks to explore any gaps in the employment history of those who have applied to work at the school, including those who have previously lived or worked abroad.  In failing to undertake these recruitment checks, including in a timely manner, senior leaders have failed to comply with the latest guidance.  Safeguarding leaders do not keep detailed and accurate records of the actions that they

p.3

Main inspection findings

have taken in response to receiving concerns about pupils‟ welfare. This includes when they have met with pupils and with parents to discuss welfare concerns. In this, they have not complied with the latest guidance.  Safeguarding leaders have not ensured that either they or their staff are sufficiently vigilant to identify possible welfare concerns that may lie behind pupils‟ behaviour. The school records show that, in recording incidents of poor behaviour, staff have not identified and followed up possible welfare concerns. Leaders do not check well enough that staff have followed the guidance in following up concerns.  Senior leaders failed to undertake rigorous enough checks on the religious leaders who spoke at an event that the school has hosted since the previous inspection. Pupils were present at this event, which took place away from the school site. Senior leaders‟ checks failed to consider publicly available information about the intolerant views that these

p.3

Main inspection findings

religious leaders are reported to have. These views include those that discriminate against people who meet the protected characteristics of the 2010 Equality Act.  Senior leaders have also failed to undertake sufficient checks on a religious leader who appears in a video to raise funds for the school. This video is currently on the school‟s social media website. Leaders have not made clear through the website that they do not associate with the views that this religious leader is reported to hold.  In not undertaking these checks, the senior leaders have failed to follow their own school policy that relates to safeguarding against extremism and radicalisation. Senior leaders have since agreed to cooperate with the local „Prevent‟ team to confirm the suitability of any speakers the school wishes to engage.  Governors have failed in their statutory duty to ensure that they have adequate arrangements in place to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. The leadership

p.4

Main inspection findings

of safeguarding is weak. The governor with responsibility for safeguarding is also the school‟s deputy headteacher. These arrangements are not secure enough to ensure that all staff, including the school‟s leaders, are held to account for how well they fulfil their safeguarding duties.  Senior leaders have ensured that all staff have received safeguarding training, including in the types and signs of abuse. Staff know how to report any concerns about the conduct of staff towards pupils, including any concerns about the conduct of the headteacher, who is the school‟s proprietor.  The headteacher has recently appointed a female member of staff to whom pupils can report any welfare concerns that they may have. Pupils said that they can go and speak to this member of staff if they have a concern.  The school does not meet the requirements of the independent school standard. Paragraphs 3, 3(h), 9, 9(b)

p.4

Main inspection findings

 The previous inspection found that senior leaders had not ensured that teachers managed pupils‟ behaviour well, including through consistent application of the new behaviour policy. The inspection found that pupils‟ behaviour had deteriorated.  The school‟s behaviour records indicate that there are frequent occasions when pupils behave inappropriately. This poor behaviour includes arriving late to lessons, failing to complete homework, and disrupting other pupils‟ learning. The records show that some pupils repeatedly engage in such behaviour.  Inspectors observed occasions in lessons when pupils did not engage well with their work. Some pupils refused to comply with teachers‟ instructions and some engaged in behaviour that either disrupted their own learning or that of other pupils. Teachers did not always manage this behaviour well.  This academic year, some pupils have been excluded, including permanently, for serious

p.4

Main inspection findings

incidents of inappropriate behaviour. This was the case at the previous inspection.  Leaders do not ensure that they fully record the actions that they take when responding to and managing pupils‟ behaviour.  The school does not meet the requirements of these parts of the independent school standards. Paragraph 14  The previous inspection found that there was inadequate supervision of pupils. Senior leaders had not ensured that they provided cover for absent staff or that staff fulfilled their supervisory duties during social times. As a result, there were times when pupils were unsupervised, including during lessons.  Senior leaders now ensure that they provide cover for absent staff. Pupils say that there are no longer occasions when their class is unsupervised due to staff absence.  Senior leaders have ensured that staff supervise pupils during social times.  The school meets the requirements of the independent school standard.

p.4

Main inspection findings

Paragraph 15  The previous inspection found that staff did not record pupils‟ absence correctly. Senior leaders did not see the potential links between pupils‟ absence and their safety. They did not inform the local authority about pupils who were absent for lengthy periods of time.  Senior leaders have ensured that staff complete registers correctly.  Senior leaders report to the local authority any concerns they may have regarding pupils‟ absence. They also inform the local authority of any pupils who have left the school. Senior leaders maintain comprehensive records regarding the actions they take to check and report on pupils who are absent.  The school meets the requirements of the independent school standard.

p.5

Main inspection findings

Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors Paragraph 18(2), 18(2)(b)  The previous inspection found that senior leaders did not check on the prohibition from teaching and leadership for any new member of staff.  Senior leaders have ensured that they undertake the appropriate prohibition check for teachers and for those who hold leadership positions, including governors.  The school meets the requirements of this part of the independent school standard. Paragraphs 18(2), 18(2)(d), 18(2)(e), 18(3), 21(1), 21(3), 21(3)(a), 21(3)(a)(v), 21(3)(a)(vi), 21(3)(a)(viii)  Senior leaders have not undertaken all the necessary checks for staff who have begun to work at the school since the previous inspection. Senior leaders have not checked on the suitability of these staff to work in a school nor have they checked on those who have previously lived and worked abroad.  The school‟s record of the recruitment checks is inaccurately completed. This includes

p.5

Main inspection findings

information regarding the date when staff started at the school, the date when the school received confirmation of checks, and whether checks have been necessary.  At the time of the on-site inspection, senior leaders were not clear how to undertake the checks on staff who have previously lived and worked abroad. In this, they demonstrated an insecure understanding of the latest guidance.  The school does not meet the requirements of these parts of the independent school standards.

p.5

Main inspection findings

Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools Paragraph 23(1), 23(1)(a)  The previous monitoring inspection found that the pupils‟ toilets were not in a suitable state. There had been a leak in a toilet and a pool of water had gathered on the floor. As a result, the toilets were unhygienic and not fit for use.  Senior leaders have taken effective action to resolve the issues that the previous inspection identified.  The toilets are now hygienic and fit for purpose.  The school meets the requirements of this part of the independent school standard. Paragraph 25  The previous monitoring inspection found that the senior leaders had not ensured that the school premises and facilities were in a suitable state to ensure pupils‟ health, safety and welfare. Parts of the school were untidy and disorganised, with graffiti and litter present. Senior leaders had not stored securely chemicals that were harmful to pupils.

p.6

Main inspection findings

 The premises are now in a condition that is conducive to securing pupils‟ health, welfare and safety. There was very little evidence of graffiti and no evidence of litter, for example. Chemicals are stored in a locked cupboard.  Overall, the premises are tidy and organised.  The school meets the requirements of the independent school standard. Paragraph 29(1), 29(1)(a), 29(1)(b)  At the previous progress monitoring inspection, senior leaders had not ensured that pupils had access to an outdoor area to play. Furthermore, pupils did not go to the leisure centre for their PE lessons.  Pupils told inspectors that they undertake PE each Friday, and that this takes place at the local leisure centre.  Pupils have access to a local park to play outside at lunchtime. Pupils have mixed opinions as to how frequently they go to the park.  The school meets the requirements of the independent school standard.

p.6

Main inspection findings

Part 6. Provision of information Paragraphs 32(1), 32(1)(a), 32(1)(b), 32(1)(c), 32(1)(d), 32(2), 32(2)(a), 32(3), 32(3)(e)  The previous progress monitoring inspection found that the information relevant to the standards in these paragraphs was not available on the school‟s website. The name of the headteacher was not on the website, nor was it in the information booklet for prospective parents. The website did not provide access to the latest inspection report.  During the inspection, there were difficulties in accessing the school‟s latest website. However, the information relevant to the standards in these paragraphs is available to parents and prospective parents on request.  The school‟s safeguarding policy, which reflects the latest guidance, is available on request.  The school meets the requirements of these parts of the independent school standard.

p.6

Main inspection findings

Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools Paragraphs 34(1), 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b), 34(1)(c)  In his capacity as the school‟s proprietor, the headteacher has not ensured that he or other senior leaders have a secure understanding of the independent school standards. They have not taken sufficient action to ensure that the school now meets all the standards that the previous inspection judged as not met.  Furthermore, senior leaders have not ensured that the school continues to meet all the standards that were met previously. Inspectors found evidence of new unmet standards, including those related to recruitment of staff and to the quality of teaching.  Senior leaders have not ensured that their safeguarding practice complies with the latest guidance. They have not ensured, for example, that they keep accurate and detailed records of the actions that they take to resolve welfare concerns.

p.7

Main inspection findings

 Senior leaders have not undertaken all the necessary recruitment checks before staff take up their post at the school. They have not ensured that records of their recruitment checks are accurate. Such practice does not comply with the latest guidance.  Senior leaders have failed to undertake sufficient checks on religious leaders with whom the school has recently associated itself. They have failed to find publicly available information that reports these leaders as holding views that are counter to fundamental British values and to the Equality Act of 2010. At the feedback meeting at the end of the on-site inspection, the chair of governors stated that school leaders endorsed the views that these religious leaders are reported to hold. He confirmed that the school had recently sought to invite one of these religious leaders to the school, but that the religious leader had not been available.  Senior leaders have not ensured that staff who take on new positions within the school

p.7

Main inspection findings

have sufficient knowledge, support and training to fulfil their roles effectively. This includes those who take on new leadership roles, and teachers who teach subjects that are outside their specialism.  The school does not meet the requirements of the independent school standard.

p.7

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. Not all of the standards and associated requirements were checked during this inspection.
