Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided Paragraphs 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)(i), 3(g), 3(h)3(i), 3(j) and 4  The proprietor has set out a clear vision and aims for the proposed school in a curriculum statement. This ensures that pupils are likely to be able to access a suitably broad range of subjects, covering linguistic, mathematical, scientific, technological, human and social, physical, aesthetic and creative education.  The proposed curriculum is likely to ensure that pupils develop their speaking, listening, literacy and numeracy skills. There is an expectation that each scheme of work will explain how pupils will be supported to develop their employability skills.  The personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum covers the new requirement to teach relationships and sex education (RSE), appropriate for the

p.1

Main inspection findings

intended age group of pupils.  Leaders plan to provide comprehensive careers advice and guidance which is impartial and includes access to work experience and a range of prospective local employers or further education providers.  The proprietor has ensured that the school is compliant with the legal requirements under the Equality Act 2010. An accessibility plan is in place. The curriculum teaches pupils about the protected characteristics and the school’s ethos actively promotes respect for all.  The proposed school’s curriculum plans and schemes of work do not undermine the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. The proprietor has ensured that the proposed school’s ethos fully endorses and upholds these values.  Leaders intend to carry out baseline assessments as pupils join the school and for

p.1

Main inspection findings

their progress to be assessed against curriculum targets. The assessment framework ensures that pupils’ progress will be discussed with and reported to parents.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Paragraphs 2(1), 2(1)(a), 2(1)(b), 2(1)(b)(i)  The proprietor has not ensured that the written policy, curriculum plans and schemes of work will meet the needs of all individual pupils in terms of their ages, needs and aptitudes.  The proposed school intends to admit pupils with significant special educational needs (SEN), ranging in age from 11 to 18 years old. These pupils may exhibit a range of diverse needs. The curriculum does not cater for pupils who may be able to access and complete level 2 qualifications and beyond. The current curriculum plans do not make adequate provision for all pupils, particularly the most able.  The proprietor has not ensured that these standards are likely to be met.

p.1

Main inspection findings

Paragraphs 2(2)(g), 2(2)(h)  The proposed school intends to admit pupils up to the age of 18 who have education, health and care plans (EHCPs). However, the curriculum plans do not make it clear how the proprietor will ensure that all pupils will have the opportunity to learn and make enough progress, particularly the most-able pupils. There is insufficient challenge in current curriculum plans to meet the needs of the most-able pupils.  The proprietor has not ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Paragraphs 3, 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e), 3(f)  As a result of the shortcomings in the school’s current plans for the curriculum, it is unlikely that pupils will be adequately supported to make good progress according to their ability, particularly the most able.  There are currently no teachers employed by the school. There are no coherent plans to ensure that teachers appointed will have the full range of expertise needed to

p.2

Main inspection findings

support and teach pupils with wide-ranging special educational needs and with ages ranging from 11 to 18 years.  No firm decisions have been made about how classes will be arranged, for example what will be the numbers and ages of pupils in each class. It is therefore not possible to see how curriculum plans will be implemented effectively.  The proprietor has not ensured that these standards are likely to be met. 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) and 5(d)(iii)  Plans for the proposed school curriculum and wider experiences demonstrate a strong commitment to supporting pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. A programme of diverse activities, such as charity events, volunteering and community activities, will ensure that pupils develop an appreciation and understanding of the

p.2

Main inspection findings

world around them, together with empathy and a sense of responsibility.  Despite the weaknesses in aspects of the curriculum plans, leaders’ commitment to teaching fundamental British values, such as mutual respect, individual freedom, democracy and the rule of law, is clearly demonstrated.  Leaders are committed to promoting pupils’ understanding of right and wrong and of the consequences of their actions and their impact on others. This principle underpins the proposed school’s behaviour policy.  Leaders have plans in place to ensure that pupils are presented with balanced views, and that any teaching or external presentations are not partisan.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraphs 7, 7(a) and 7(b)  The school’s safeguarding policy reflects the most recent government guidance, ‘Keeping children safe in education’, September 2020.

p.2

Main inspection findings

 The headteacher will be the designated safeguarding lead and the chief operating officer will be the deputy safeguarding lead. Both have considerable experience in safeguarding children from their previous roles. The headteacher has undertaken recent training and maintains a record of any relevant training he attends.  Plans are in place to ensure that, once appointed, staff will receive the necessary safeguarding training, including ‘Prevent’ duty training.  The curriculum plans for PSHE include helping pupils to develop an awareness of keeping themselves safe in the community and online. Visits from police personnel are proposed to support this.  However, there are weaknesses in the school’s site security measures and in its risk assessment procedures. This means that pupils’ safety and welfare could be compromised.  The proprietor has not ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Paragraphs 9, 9(a), 9(b), 9(c) and 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15

p.3

Main inspection findings

 Leaders have put in place a behaviour policy outlining their approach to developing positive behaviour management. Leaders stress that the policy is designed to ensure that there is enough flexibility in the rewards and sanctions to ensure that high expectations of behaviour are upheld, while responding to pupils’ social and emotional mental health needs.  It is intended that behaviour incidents will be logged in a generic record, as well as in pupils’ individual files. Leaders say that this will enable them to spot patterns of behaviour and to intervene proactively where they can to reduce incidents, for example at breaktimes and lunchtimes or other times of the school day.  Leaders explained how they intend to focus on positive relationships to help pupils improve their behaviour. Pupils will be supported to reflect on the impact of their actions on others.  It is planned that all staff will undergo training in the appropriate use of physical

p.3

Main inspection findings

restraint, but it is stressed that this approach will be used as a last resort.  The proposed anti-bullying policy is fit for purpose. It makes links to both the safeguarding and behaviour policies. It sets out how pupils will learn about the protected characteristics in the Equality Act and different types of bullying, including cyber bullying.  The school has a written health and safety policy and a health and safety audit has recently been carried out by a suitably qualified person. At the time of the inspection, the proprietor had not yet received the report.  The proprietor has ensured that the school is compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. A fire evacuation plan is in place. Fire drills are planned to take place regularly and whenever a new pupil joins the school.  An admission and attendance register is in place which includes all the required information. The admissions and attendance policies are compliant with the most

p.3

Main inspection findings

recent government guidance concerning the use of attendance code ‘X’ to record any COVID-19 (coronavirus) related absence.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Paragraphs 16, 16(a), 16(b)  There is a risk assessment policy in place which meets the requirements for this standard. However, the risk assessment for off-site physical education (PE) lessons does not adequately consider the potential risks inherent in travelling to and from off- site facilities. In addition, the potential risk to pupils from members of the public using community facilities at the same time as pupils has not been considered.  These standards are therefore unlikely to be met. Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors Paragraphs 18(2), 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), 19(2), 19(2)(a), 19(2)(a)(i), 19(2)(a)(i)(aa),

Before each appointment, leaders intend to request at least two references and carry out a medical check. The inspector scrutinised the recruitment file for the recently appointed headteacher. This showed that the pre-employment checks, including the section 128 check for leaders, had been carried out within the required timescales.  The single central register includes all the required pre-employment checks. It is

p.4

Main inspection findings

stored centrally in an electronic format. Leaders confirmed that the register will be updated as new members of staff are recruited.  Leaders state that they do not intend to use supply staff, but they are clear about the checks and procedures that would need to be followed if they did, including checking the identity of any agency staff.  The proprietor and the chief operating officer confirmed that they have completed safer recruitment training and shared their certificates with the inspector. They stated that one or other of them will sit on any recruitment panels.  The headteacher is experienced in safeguarding practice through his previous experience as a headteacher and recently as a senior leader in a special school.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools Paragraphs 23(1), 23(1)(a), 23(1)(b), 24(1), 24(1)( a), 24(1)(b), 24(2), 26, 27, 27(a),

p.4

Main inspection findings

27(b), 28(1), 28(1)(a), 28(1)(b), 28(1)(c), 28(1)(d), 28(2), 28(2)(a), 28(2)(b), 29(1), 29(1)(a) and 29(1)(b)  The proposed school will be housed in the building of what was the village school until the school was closed and the building was purchased by the current owners, Unique Care Group.  The building has recently been redecorated and is now in good decorative order. The accommodation has three light, airy classrooms, with good acoustics and access to outdoor space.  There are separate toilet facilities for boys and girls, as well as a disabled toilet. As the school building previously housed a primary school, the current fixtures would not be appropriate for young people aged 11 to 18. Leaders confirmed that work is in hand to upgrade the sanitary ware.  The proposed school has a well-equipped medical room, with its own water supply and toilet.  Drinking water points are installed in the corridors and clearly labelled as such. Other

p.5

Main inspection findings

water supplies in classrooms and toilets are clearly labelled ‘Not drinking water’.  The outdoor space is adequate for pupils to use at breaktimes and lunchtimes and would be acceptable for PE lessons. However, leaders confirmed that PE lessons would take place off site elsewhere.  A public footpath runs along one side of the school grounds. Leaders have erected a tall perimeter fence along this border to keep children safe.  The rear aspect of the proposed school overlooks common ground which is accessed by the general public for leisure and exercise. A wire fence separates the school from this land. Leaders have assessed the potential risk to pupils posed by the proximity to this land and have put in place a risk assessment to mitigate this.  The school is approached via an unadopted road, which could be treacherous to visitors arriving or leaving the site in darkness. However, the proprietor has ensured

p.5

Main inspection findings

that adequate outdoor lighting is installed along the lane leading from the car park to the main entrance of the school.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Paragraph 23(1)(c)  Leaders originally proposed to carry out PE lessons on site. However, since the school has no changing rooms or showers, leaders confirmed during the inspection that PE would be carried out off site. However, the risk assessment carried out for this activity is not currently fit for purpose. It does not address the risks of travelling to and from any off-site locations. Neither does it assess the risk to pupils from members of the public who might be using the venue at the same time. This could potentially leave pupils at risk.  The proprietor has not ensured that this standard is likely to be met. Paragraphs 28(1)(b), 28(1)(d)  At the time of the inspection, the toilets had no running water. This was because

p.5

Main inspection findings

maintenance work was due to be carried out shortly. It was therefore not possible to check the temperature of the hot water to ascertain whether it presented a scalding risk to pupils.  The proprietor has not ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Paragraph 25  Despite the good decorative order of the school building and the adequate outdoor space, the school facilities require further revisions, as outlined above, to ensure that pupils’ health, safety and welfare are maintained, and the facilities are appropriate for the proposed pupils’ age group.  The school occupies half of the building. The other half is owned by the Unique Care Group and an application has been made for this to become a residential home for children in local authority care. The interconnecting door can be locked from the residential side of the building, preventing access from the school. However, the lock could be easily opened without a key from the residential side to gain access to the

p.6

Main inspection findings

school. This could present a risk to pupils attending the school.  The proprietor has not ensured that this standard is likely to be met. Part 6. Provision of information Paragraphs 32(1), 32(1)(a), 32(1)(b), 32(1)(c), 32(1)(f), 32(1)(g), 32(1)(h), 32(1)(i), 32(1)(j), 32(2), 32(2)(a), 32(2)(b), 32(b)(ii), 32(2)(d), 32(3), 32(3)(a), 32(3)(b), 32(3)(c), 32(3)(d) and 32(3)(f)  The proprietorial organisation has a website which contains basic information about the proposed school. However, the website does not contain the required information.  The proprietor has ensured that the required information is available on request from the school office. This includes a draft prospectus stating the vision and aims of the school, a curriculum statement and contact details for the proprietor.  The proprietor has put in place a pro forma report to parents, an attendance and admissions register, a behaviour and exclusions policy, an anti-bullying policy and a

p.6

Main inspection findings

safeguarding policy which takes account of guidance issued by the Secretary of State for Education.  Plans are in place to report on pupils’ progress against EHC plans, as part of a review process involving pupils, carers, the local authority and social workers where appropriate.  The first aid policy is in place and is fit for purpose.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Part 7. Manner in which complaints are handled Paragraphs 33, 33(a), 33(b), 33(c), 33(d), 33(e), 33(f), 33(g), 33(h), 33(i), 33(i)(i), 33(i)(ii), 33(j), 33(j)(i), 33(j)(ii) and 33(k)  The proprietor has put in place a comprehensive complaints policy which sets out a clear three-step process. Complainants are encouraged to seek to resolve issues at a local level in the first instance.  Should complaints need to be escalated to level 2 and 3, clear timescales for responses are set out.  Step three of the complaints policy meets the requirement for an independent panel

p.6

Main inspection findings

member to be present. Parents are entitled to attend the panel hearing and be accompanied if they wish.  The proprietor intends to keep records securely and in line with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements.  The proprietor has ensured that these standards are likely to be met. Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools Paragraphs 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b), 34(1)(c)  The proprietor has not ensured that those leading and managing the school demonstrate the skills and knowledge to ensure that all the independent school standards are met consistently. The headteacher took up his post in the week preceding the inspection. He was therefore unable to fully articulate the vision and curriculum aims for the school. Much of the preparatory work for the school’s application had been completed by a previously appointed headteacher who withdrew from the position, in conjunction with a school improvement adviser acting in a

p.7

Main inspection findings

consultative capacity. This raises questions about the stability and sustainability of leadership. Leaders demonstrated limited awareness of the independent school standards, which raises questions about the capacity of leadership.  Many of the details of provision are yet to be finalised. Class sizes, staffing numbers and teacher-pupil ratios are all yet to be decided. Leaders have also yet to determine where PE lessons will take place.  The application indicates that the proposed school would take pupils from 11 to 18 years of age, most of whom would have EHCPs with a wide range of special educational needs. However, the curriculum plans do not adequately show how leaders will ensure that the needs of all pupils will be met.  The issues with the premises and the weaknesses in the proposed school’s risk assessment procedures mean that pupils are at risk, compromising their welfare and safety.  The projected number of pupils is ambitious, considering the significant and varied

p.7

Main inspection findings

needs of the pupils the school is proposing to admit and the limitations of the current curriculum and leaders’ capacity. Leaders intend to review and resubmit their registration application. They intend to reduce both the number of pupils they propose to admit and the range of special educational needs of pupils.  This standard is therefore unlikely to be met. Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010  Leaders have ensured that they have a suitable accessibility plan in place that meets the requirements of Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010.

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.
