Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided Paragraph 2(1), 2(1)(a), 2(1)(b), 2(1)(b)(i), 2(1)(b)(ii), 2(2), 2(2)(a), 2(2)(b), 2(2)(c), 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)(g), 2(2)(h), 2(2)(i)  The proprietor body has prepared an appropriate curriculum policy, which includes a sufficiently broad range of subjects. The details emphasise the contribution that each subject will make to pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) education. The details also show that the active promotion of British values will be an important part of the school’s work. This includes values such as tolerance and respect, together with the development of pupils’ knowledge and understanding of being a British citizen.  The proprietor body intends for leaders to offer both a Kodesh (religious) and Chol (secular) curriculum. However, these will be woven together rather than taught

p.1

Main inspection findings

separately. The curriculum policy is supported by schemes of work for each subject. The schemes of work and examples of the supporting long-term planning are appropriate. Leaders have thought carefully about what they want the pupils to learn during their time at the school. Planning considers the possible range of individual needs of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.  There is a suitable emphasis on reading, writing and mathematics in the curriculum. Leaders intend to offer a broad curriculum and provide pupils with a variety of learning experiences. These subjects will include science, history and geography. They will also include art, information and communication technology and physical education (PE).  Pupils’ personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education will be timetabled weekly and taught in small groups of pupils. Aspects of PSHE will also be woven into

p.1

Main inspection findings

the whole curriculum. This curriculum will include the development of life skills, relationships, health and sex education.  Leaders are willing to pay particular regard to the protected characteristics as set out in the Equality Act 2010 within their teaching of PSHE. They discussed with the inspector how this would be done through themed work, small groups and with pupil mentors. However, the documents related to PSHE do not reflect or articulate this. Any references to paying particular regard and respect for all the protected characteristic is hesitant and vague.  There are no schemes of work for careers education for pupils. Nor are there references to careers education in any curriculum documentation. Paragraph 3, 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e), 3(f), 3(g), 3(h), 3(i), 3(j)  Leaders have already recruited most of the staff to teach pupils. Leaders have a very clear idea of the calibre and expertise that they are looking for in their new teachers

p.1

Main inspection findings

and other staff.  No short-term teaching plans are yet in place, although templates have been created for these. Leaders will ask teachers to write these prior to the school opening. Teachers will be expected to match their subject teaching methods to the needs of the pupils. The school is well resourced. Although the school is waiting for delivery of some books and equipment, the inspector saw evidence of the resources ordered. Leaders intend that a significant amount of learning will be through electronic packages. To this end chrome books have been bought for all pupils. The educational packages will be chosen to appeal to the age range of pupils that the school will serve.  The headteacher is experienced. She has worked as a teacher, subject leader, middle manager and department head in a local maintained girls’ school. The chair of governors has been a governor at another local school. They are committed to

p.2

Main inspection findings

providing a good-quality education for pupils. The headteacher has the knowledge and skills to support teachers, so they can provide a suitable quality of education when the school opens. Paragraph 4  Leaders have a suitable assessment policy.  The assessment policy identifies that pupils’ attainment and personal needs will be assessed when they arrive at the school. Their progress and attainment will also be assessed regularly. The headteacher understands the expected progression pupils will make across each curriculum subject. Leaders are mindful of the likely wide range of pupils’ abilities and needs. Pupils’ progress will be shared regularly with parents and carers, and those responsible for governance. Teachers will use these assessments to inform their teaching.  Pupils will have access to a range of academic and vocational qualifications according to their ability and need. This will include key stage 4 national assessments.

p.2

Main inspection findings

 The standards in this part are unmet. Part 2. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils Paragraph 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)  Documentary evidence indicates that pupils’ SMSC development is a thread that runs throughout the curriculum for the proposed provision. SMSC development is central to the school’s aims, schemes of work, policies and plans for enrichment activities.  The schemes of work for SMSC show that pupils will learn about democracy and different faiths. Enrichment activities will be offered to all pupils to ensure that they experience a diverse range of social and cultural activities and traditions. For example, plans are in place to help pupils to be involved in charity work and local community events.  Schemes of work will support the development of pupils’ skills, broaden their horizons,

p.2

Main inspection findings

discuss local and national events and provide experiences that will give them a balance of opposing views. Pupils will be encouraged to put into practice the values fundamental to living in Britain.  It is clear in conversation with leaders that they have a proactive view towards addressing all the protected characteristics set out in legislation, including sexual orientation and gender reassignment. However, this is not reflected in the school’s policies and documentation.  The standard in this part is unmet. Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraph 7, 7(a), 7(b)  Leaders have a safeguarding policy in place. However, it is not up to date with the statutory guidance for safeguarding pupils. Although it contains the recent changes required in the current document, it has significant gaps regarding requirements from previous editions of the document. For example, it does not include the required

p.3

Main inspection findings

information related to peer on peer abuse, female genital mutilation contact information, sexting or gender-specific issues. Leaders have arrangements in place to keep pupils safe and to promote their welfare at the school.  There will be two designated safeguarding leads within school. All new staff will receive appropriate induction, safeguarding training and regular updates on areas such as the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, radicalisation and extremism, sexual exploitation and e-safety. Paragraphs 9, 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 10  The proprietor body has detailed behaviour and exclusion policies in place. There is also an appropriate anti-bullying policy. Any incidents of poor behaviour will be logged. The policy has identified appropriate and proportionate sanctions. Policies expect staff to seek to de-escalate incidents. Paragraphs 11, 12, 13, 16, 16(a), 16(b)  The proprietor body has not ensured compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire

Main inspection findings

Safety) Order 2005. There were a significant number of ‘high risk’ fire safety concerns identified following a recent fire safety audit on the building. These still require action. These include risks related to the buildings’ fire doors, and the fire alarm and related systems not being compliant with British standards.  The proprietor body has a written health and safety policy. It covers the full range of health and safety considerations and is appropriately tailored to the premises of the proposed school. It complies with all relevant laws. However, in practice, the proprietor body does not have full access and accountability for the building’s health and safety documentation and in particular fire safety.  The proprietor body has an appropriate first-aid policy in place. Leaders plan to have a number of staff complete first-aid training before the school opens.  A written risk assessment policy is in place. Risk assessments already completed show

p.3

Main inspection findings

that leaders plan to take appropriate actions to minimise risks to pupils.  The security and safety of pupils has been considered as part of the refurbishment of the building. For example, the proprietor body has added security keypads to main doorways and there will be a security guard at the entrance to the school grounds. Additionally, written guidance explains how pupils and staff will be expected to behave and move around the school in line with COVID-19 guidance.  Leaders have made appropriate arrangements to ensure that the school’s computer network has suitable monitoring and filtering in place to increase pupils’ safety when they are online. Paragraph 14  Pupils will always be supervised. This includes arriving at school, at breaktimes and on leaving the premises. Paragraph 15  The proprietor body has appropriate systems in place to register pupils’ attendance and allow them to effectively monitor any pupils’ absences. Leaders will report on

p.4

Main inspection findings

attendance on a termly basis through the governance of the school.  The proprietor body has published a suitable admissions policy for the school. Systems are in place to ensure that records of admission will adhere to the Education (Pupil Registration) Regulations 2006.  The independent school standards in this part are unmet. 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), 19(2)(a)(i)(bb), 19(2)(a)(i)(cc), 19(2)(a)(ii), 19(2)(b), 19(2)(c), 19(2)(d), 19(2)(d)(i), 19(2)(d)(ii), 19(3), 20(6), 20(6)(a), 20(6)(a)(i), 20(6)(a)(ii), 20(6)(b), 20(6)(b)(i), 20(6)(b)(ii), 20(6)(b)(iii), 20(6)(c), 21(1), 21(2), 21(3), 21(3)(a), 21(3)(a)(i), 21(3)(a)(ii), 21(3)(a)(iii), 21(3)(a)(iv), 21(3)(a)(v), 21(3)(a)(vi), 21(3)(a)(vii),

Leaders have done most of the required checks on the suitability of staff before they took up their appointments, but the SCR has many gaps where the information collected has not been entered. For example, the inspector saw evidence that appointed staff had enhanced criminal record certificates (DBS) but these were not recorded on the SCR.  The proprietor body was unaware that checks on the suitability of all staff in relation to them having lived and worked outside of the United Kingdom (UK) should be completed. Nor were they aware that a check should be completed on those staff appointed as school leaders or managers related to the leadership and management of a school.  Records relating to the proprietor, directors and governing body are only partly

p.4

Main inspection findings

completed on the school’s SCR. The suitability checks, including those relating to the leadership and management of a school and living and working outside the UK, have not been carried out.  The headteacher has overall responsibility for safeguarding across the proposed school. She has been suitably trained to be a designated safeguarding lead.  The school does not intend to operate with supply teachers. However, leaders are aware of the procedures that they should follow in the event of employing agency staff to ensure they are suitable to work with pupils.  Leaders are clear about their responsibility for checking the suitability of volunteers who might work with pupils.  The independent school standards in this part are unmet. Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools Paragraphs 23(1), 23(1)(a), 23(1)(b), 23(1)(c), 28(1), 28(1)(a), 28(1)(b), 28(1)(c), 28(1)(d), 28(2), 28(2)(a), 28(2)(b)

p.4

Main inspection findings

 The site for the proposed school is situated on the second (top) floor of a local community centre. The building has been refurbished by the proprietor body to an appropriate standard. The accommodation comprises a large teaching room divided into two teaching spaces. It provides an appropriate learning environment. There is a kitchen/staffroom, medical room and office space for school administration. The school will have access to a large hall on the ground floor and some outdoor space.  There are appropriate toilet facilities. All toilets can be secured from the inside. There is running hot and cold water. The hot water is at an appropriate temperature. There are signs indicating that the water is hot and not suitable for drinking. Pupils will have access to a drinking water fountain throughout the day.  There are no shower facilities in the school building at present, although some are proposed in the future. In the meantime, the proprietor body has secured shower and

Paragraph 24(1), 24(1)(a), 24(1)(b), 24(2)  A medical room has been set aside with suitable washing facilities by way of a portable sink. There is easy access to a toilet. A portable bed, bedding and first aid kit were in the medical room at the time of the inspection. Paragraphs 25, 26, 27, 27(a), 27(b)  Accommodation throughout is of an appropriate standard and meets most of the requirements for health, safety and the welfare of pupils. This includes suitable acoustics and lighting. The teaching room has a good source of natural light. The exterior and interior lighting is of an appropriate standard. Access through main doorways will be via a security keypad. However, as the proprietor body has not ensured that the fire safety audit recommendations have been actioned, the welfare

p.5

Main inspection findings

and safety of pupils in the event of a fire is compromised. Paragraph 29(1), 29(1)(a), 29(1)(b)  The pupils will have access to a small outdoor space that will be cordoned off from the car park. It will be a sufficient space for pupils to play in when not in lessons. Activities and games have been bought to occupy pupils at these times. There is a space earmarked for pupils to use for PE. However, it not suitable at present. In the meantime, the proprietor body has secured sports facilities at the nearby girls’ high school, in accordance with the school’s curriculum requirements. Evidence was shown to the inspector to confirm this. Associated risk assessments were also seen.  The standards in this part are unmet. Part 6. Provision of information Paragraph 32(1), 32(1)(a), 32(1)(b), 32(1)(c), 32(1)(d), 32(1)(f), 32(1)(g), 32(1)(h), 32(1)(i), 32(1)(j), 32(2), 32(2)(a), 32(2)(b), 32(2)(b)(i), 32(2)(b)(ii), 32(2)(c), 32(2)(d),

32(3), 32(3)(a), 32(3)(b), 32(3)(c), 32(3)(d), 32(3)(e), 32(3)(f), 32(3)(g)  The proprietor body has not set up a website. However, there is an electronic portal that will be accessible to parents and carers. It is well presented and contains useful information for parents. The contents of the portal demonstrate that the proprietor body is aware of the requirements of what a school should make available to parents.  There are information packs for parents and pupils when they join the school. A comprehensive range of policies for parents are in place, including information on admissions, behaviour and safeguarding. All documents will be made available for parents on request from the school office.  Leaders intend to provide termly and annual reports on pupils’ progress and attainment to parents. Reports will provide a holistic picture of their children’s academic progress. They will also report on pupils’ personal development and

emotional health and well-being. Leaders are aware that any inspection reports and examination results need to be made available once released.  The standards in this part are likely to be met when the school opens. Part 7. Manner in which complaints are handled Paragraph 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), 33(k)  The complaints policy is appropriate. It contains all of the required stages. It includes appropriate timescales and information about the storage and sharing of written records. The policy is robust and ensures transparency of the school’s intended complaint procedures.  All the independent school standards in this part are likely to be met when the school opens. Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools Paragraph 34(1), 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b), 34(1)(c)  The proprietor body does not have a secure understanding of the independent school

Main inspection findings

standards. Many are unmet. As a result, members are not fulfilling their responsibilities to meet all these standards consistently and effectively.  The proprietor body, chair of governors and headteacher are committed and enthusiastic about opening the proposed school. They are concerned about the well- being and welfare of pupils. However, they have not ensured that the school building is safe against fire. They have not fully thought through and articulated in documents how they will actively develop pupils understanding and knowledge of all the protected characteristics. Therefore, leaders do not fulfil their responsibilities to actively promote the well-being of pupils.  The independent school standards are unmet. Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010
