Main inspection findings

Part 1. Quality of education provided All paragraphs  Leaders have developed an appropriate specialist curriculum policy and teaching plans which are likely to cover the required areas of learning for pupils aged 14 to 19. The curriculum is built around accredited qualifications in beauty therapy. In addition, pupils will learn English, mathematics, information and communication technology, personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education and physical education (PE). Teaching is likely to take account of pupils’ ages, abilities and, in some pupils’ cases, their special educational needs and/or disabilities. Arrangements in place to assure the quality of teachers’ planning, teaching and assessment are likely to be suitable.  Leaders’ plans for careers education are in their infancy, but are likely to be suitable. Leaders are in the process of commissioning an external qualified careers service to

Main inspection findings

provide pupils with regular impartial information, advice and guidance.  The school’s proposed assessment system, based on progress towards qualification outcomes, is likely to be suitable. Individual teacher assessments will be used in PE. Pupils’ progress will be monitored on a regular basis, and teachers will use this information to plan for pupils’ learning.  The school is likely to be suitably resourced, especially in relation to beauty and massage therapy, and a suitable number of staff are likely to be appropriately deployed.  The proposed school’s PSHE education programme, which incorporates statutory relationships and sex education, is likely to be suitable. It includes the required coverage of British values and pays regard to all the protected characteristics (as identified in the Equality Act 2010).  Leaders have ensured that the independent school standards in this part are likely to

p.1

Main inspection findings

be met. Part 2. Spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils All paragraphs  The proposed school’s curriculum includes a range of suitable opportunities to promote British values and to ensure that pupils learn to respect people with protected characteristics. A calendar of events, assemblies, celebrations and visits are likely to support pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.  The school will not have a religious ethos and will welcome pupils of all faiths. The planned PSHE education programme is likely to ensure that pupils learn about a range of religions, cultures and beliefs. Pupils are likely to develop tolerance and appreciate the diversity of British society.  Leaders intend to make clear in the proposed school’s ‘adult behaviour’ policy that no member of staff may promote partisan views, and that balanced viewpoints must always be presented in the teaching of all subjects, but have not yet done so.

Main inspection findings

 Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standard in this part is likely to be met.

p.2

Main inspection findings

Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils All paragraphs  Designated safeguarding leaders have completed an appropriately enhanced level of online safeguarding and safer recruitment training. Arrangements for referring and logging concerns, recruiting and training staff, and facilitating a strong safeguarding culture, are likely to be suitable. However, the safeguarding policy is based on a template that has not been suitably edited for the proposed school. It does not take sufficient account of the latest statutory guidance. Information for staff, such as how to manage allegations against leaders and governors, is not clear enough.  The proposed school’s behaviour and anti-bullying policies are not likely to meet requirements. They are templates that have not been suitably edited to fit the context of the proposed school. For example, sanctions are not clear enough in the behaviour policy, and guidance on exclusions is inaccurate as it reflects processes in the

p.2

Main inspection findings

maintained sector. The anti-bullying policy does not actually outline a procedure or strategy for managing incidents of bullying. Leaders propose to log sanctions imposed for incidents of serious misbehaviour on a suitable online management system.  There are two qualified first aiders and the system for recording accidents and providing first aid is likely to be appropriate. However, the proposed school’s first-aid policy is not likely to meet requirements. It is too sparse and has missing sections, for example in relation to managing pupils’ medical needs and any medication taken.  The proposed school is unlikely to be compliant with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This is because the building’s external fire risk assessment, undertaken the day before this inspection, identified required actions, such as the replacement of four fire doors. This inspection also found that legal requirements,

p.2

Main inspection findings

such as annual checks on the emergency lighting and fire alarm systems, had either not been completed or are overdue.  The school’s health and safety and risk assessment policies are not likely to meet the requirements. They are, again, template policies that have not been suitably edited to fit the context of the proposed school. There is no premises risk assessment in place. Leaders acknowledge the need to install vision panels in classroom doors.  Admission and attendance registers will be kept electronically. The admission register is not likely to meet requirements, as it does not include all the required information, such as pupils’ previous schools.  The number of staff deployed will ensure that there is always at least a ratio of one adult supervising every 10 pupils. This is likely to be appropriate.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are likely

p.2

Main inspection findings

to be met, as identified in the annex to this report.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors All paragraphs  This inspection found that leaders were not clear about all the required vetting checks on staff and governors, particularly the differences between barred list, prohibition, right to work and overseas checks. However, an appropriate single central register (SCR) of checks has been created, and all the required checks have been undertaken. Though they have been completed, the only checks missing from the SCR are the prohibition from management (section 128) checks.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are likely to be met, as identified in the annex to this report.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools All paragraphs  The proposed school comprises a self-contained, two-floor premises in a building previously used as nursery. There are two classrooms, a multi-use space and a beauty therapy suite. There are also offices, a dining area and kitchen, a common room and a large, secure outdoor play space.  There are suitable toilet, washing, shower and changing facilities. However, during the inspection there was no hot water supply. Therefore, the temperature of the hot water could not be checked to ensure it did not pose a scalding risk.  Suitably labelled drinking water supplies are readily available to pupils.  The acoustics and internal and external lighting are all likely to be suitable.  There is a suitably resourced medical room with a dedicated washing facility directly outside the room, by the door.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards in this part are likely

p.3

Main inspection findings

to be met, as listed in the annex to this report.

p.3

Main inspection findings

Part 6. Provision of information All paragraphs  Many of the required policies and most of the required information are available on the proposed school’s website.  However, leaders have not written or published information for parents to explain how the school would meet the needs of pupils who speak English as an additional language.  The proposed school’s intended report template for parents is not likely to meet requirements because it only outlines pupils’ progress, and makes no reference to their attainment.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standards 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 proposed school’s complaints procedure has not been devised in line with the requirements. For example, the proposed complaints policy does not outline the detail of the management of formal complaints, including those heard by a complaints panel. The proposed complaints log does not reference the stage of resolution or any action taken as a result of complaints.  Leaders have not ensured that the independent school standard in this part is 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  All the independent school standards, including the standard in this part, are not likely to be met, and pupils' well-being is not likely to be assured, if Y.O.U.R Beauty School CIC is registered as an independent school at this time.

p.4

Main inspection findings

Schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010  The proposed school is likely to be compliant with this requirement because leaders have written a suitable accessibility plan.

p.4

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.

Information about this proposed school

 Y.O.U.R Beauty School CIC is not currently operating as an unregistered independent school. However, it provides alternative provision. For the past two years, it has provided part-time placements to pupils aged 14 to 19 through a dual-registration arrangement. It currently provides part-time placements for four pupils of compulsory school age.  The proposed school does not intend to make use of alternative provision.

Information about this inspection

 This is the proposed school’s first pre-registration inspection.  The inspection was carried out under section 99 of the Education and Skills Act 2008, the purpose of which is to advise the Secretary of State for Education about the school's likely compliance with the independent school standards that are required for registration as an independent school.  The inspection was conducted with two days of notice.  The inspector met with the proposed school’s chair of the proprietorial body, the headteacher, the office manager and the designated safeguarding leaders.  The inspector considered a wide range of evidence to check the likelihood of the school meeting all of the independent school standards. As examples, he toured the premises, reviewed key documents and policies, and considered the school’s proposed curriculum.
