Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided All paragraphs  This proposed school aims to meet the needs of pupils aged 15 to 18 wishing to study medicine and engineering at university.  The proposed curriculum and assessment policies, and associated curriculum plans, suitably cover English, mathematics and the sciences.  However, the intention to ‘embed’ the other required areas of learning, including technological, aesthetic and creative, physical, and human and social, is tenuous. Plans do not suggest that there will be appropriate coverage of all the required areas of learning.  There is no programme of study for the teaching of personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education. There is no suitable plan for ensuring that pupils access regular and impartial careers information, advice and guidance.  Pupils will be tested on entry. Regular testing and teachers’ judgements will be used to assess pupils’ progress over time. However, this is only the case for English,

Main inspection findings

mathematics and the sciences. It is not clear how leaders will know what progress pupils make in the other areas of learning.  The school’s approach to pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development is not likely to ensure that pupils are actively encouraged to respect all groups of people with protected characteristics, as identified in the Equality Act 2010. Plans for fundamental British values to be considered as part of the curriculum are likely to be weak.  The school has not been resourced, and the premises are not ready for teaching.  Adults are likely to be appropriately deployed.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report. Part 2. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils All paragraphs  Leaders have not planned a PSHE curriculum, and have not considered how to develop pupils spiritually, morally, socially and culturally. They have not considered or

p.1

Main inspection findings

planned how to promote British values, or to encourage respect for all groups of people with protected characteristics. There is no planned programme to ensure that pupils will learn about a range of religions, cultures and beliefs.  There is no evidence to suggest that pupils are likely to develop tolerance and learn to appreciate the diversity of modern Britain at this proposed school.  Leaders have not considered how to ensure that partisan views are not shared by teachers, and that balanced viewpoints are always presented to pupils.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report.

p.2

Main inspection findings

Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils All paragraphs  The school’s child protection policy is available in hard copy, but does not reflect the latest statutory guidance. Leaders had not heard of ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ guidance, until this inspection. Only one proposed safeguarding leader has completed an appropriately enhanced level of recent, relevant training. There is no single central register of pre-employment checks on staff, as detailed in part 4. Consequently, arrangements for the safeguarding of pupils are not likely to meet requirements.  The proposed policy for managing pupils’ behaviour is not suitable because sanctions have not been adapted to meet the needs of a school, rather than an evening tuition centre. Additionally, leaders have not considered how to record incidents of serious misbehaviour and any sanctions imposed.  The school is not likely to be compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety)

p.2

Main inspection findings

Order 2005. There is no external fire risk assessment for the school’s proposed works, and no log of fire safety checks.  Leaders have produced appropriate anti-bullying, first aid and health and safety policies. However, leaders have not written a risk assessment policy. There is no risk assessment of the premises, and no risk assessments for any of the school’s intended activities, such as trips.  Templates for admission and attendance registers are either not in place or are not suitable.  Pupils are likely to be appropriately supervised through the adequate deployment of staff.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report. Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors All paragraphs  Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) vetting checks have been completed on all those employed so far. However, there is no single central register of pre-

p.2

Main inspection findings

employment checks, and the vast majority of the other required checks were not known about until this inspection, including for agency staff.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools All paragraphs  The premises are not ready. The three-floor building, previously used by a university, is an empty, unfurnished building. The required refurbishment works have not begun.  Hot water supplies present a scalding risk, and the drinking water supplies have not been installed.  There is no medical room facility.  The central landings on the first and second floors present a safety risk due to pupils potentially climbing and falling.  Leaders have access to some shared outdoor space, but have not considered how it will be used for outdoor play.  There are no changing or shower facilities. Leaders have not considered how and where pupils will access physical education.  The safety of the premises is not likely to be assured until fire safety meets all requirements, and all refurbishment works are completed.  Toilets and washing facilities, internal and external lighting, and acoustics are all likely

p.3

Main inspection findings

to be suitable.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 6. Provision of information All paragraphs  The organisation’s website has not been prepared to include any information in relation to the proposed school. Leaders plan to do this in the future.  Some of the required information is available in hard copy to parents and carers. However, much is not available, such as contact details for the proprietors, information about admissions and provision for pupils who speak English as an additional language.  Some policies, as specified in part 3, have not been written.  Leaders have not prepared a report template for parents.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 7. Manner in which complaints are handled All paragraphs  The school’s complaints policy is not likely to meet the requirements because it makes no reference to the possibility of parents making a formal complaint to a complaints panel.  Leaders have not considered how to record formal complaints, stages of resolution and any actions taken as a result.  Not all the requirements in this part are likely to be met, as listed in the annex to this report.

p.4

Main inspection findings

Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools All paragraphs  Leaders are passionate about opening this school and are working hard to understand and meet all the independent school standards in time for September 2019.  However, very many requirements – including those in this part – are not likely to be met if this proposed school is registered at this time.

p.4

Main inspection findings

Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010  Leaders have not written an accessibility plan.

p.4

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.
