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)  The proprietor body has not developed a suitable written curriculum policy. It does not include enough detail to meet the independent school standards (the standards).  The proprietor body has developed curriculum plans and schemes of work for English and mathematics. However, these curriculum plans do not take account of pupils’ ages. They do not include the teaching of phonics for pupils in key stage 1. Nor has the proprietor body developed any curriculum plans or schemes of work for pupils in key stage 4.  The proprietor body has not ensured that there are curriculum plans or schemes of work for the teaching of technology, human and social, or aesthetic and creative education in preparation for the school’s opening. As a result, the curriculum does not meet the requirements of the independent school standards.

p.1

Main inspection findings

 The standards in this part are unlikely to be met. Paragraph 2(2)(d), 2(2)(d)(i), 2(2)(d)(ii)  The proprietor body has not ensured that there is a suitable scheme of work to promote pupils’ personal, social, health, citizenship and economic development. This includes the teaching of fundamental British values. It does not include how respect and tolerance for all of the protected characteristics, as identified in the Equality Act 2010, will be positively promoted.  The standards in this part are unlikely to be met. Paragraph 2(2)(e), 2(2)(e)(i), 2(2)(e)(ii)  The proprietor body has no suitable careers programme in place to ensure that pupils receiving secondary education have access to impartial, accurate and up-to-date careers guidance.  The standard in this part is unlikely to be met.

p.1

Main inspection findings

they join the school. This policy explains how pupils’ achievements will be measured against the targets which have been set in pupils’ individual education, health and care plans (EHC plan). The written policy explains how assessment in English and mathematics will be carried out at key points throughout the academic year, against the planned curriculum. However, the curriculum for English and mathematics is only in place for pupils in Year 1 to Year 9.  There are no schemes of work, or curriculum plans, for all the required areas of learning as set out in the standards. Consequently, pupils are unlikely to be able to acquire new knowledge and make good progress in subjects other than English and mathematics. There are no arrangements in place for how pupils will be assessed in subjects other than English and mathematics, nor how pupils in key stage 4 will be assessed.  The proprietor body plans to use online resources to support the delivery of the

p.2

Main inspection findings

curriculum. However, it has not considered the full range of subjects to be taught, nor the resources needed. Therefore, the range of resources in place to support the effective delivery of the curriculum is limited, including for English and mathematics.  The standards in this part are unlikely to be met. Paragraph 3(h), 3(i), 3(j)  The proprietor body has designed suitable guidance for all staff on how to manage pupils’ behaviour effectively. The proprietor body will provide additional training for staff when required.  The proposed strategies to manage behaviour will support pupils to regulate their own behaviour and help pupils to understand how their behaviour impacts on others.  The standards in this part are likely to be met. Paragraph 4  The proprietor body has not ensured that a suitable assessment system is in place. Therefore, there is no means by which to measure pupils’ performance in subjects

p.2

Main inspection findings

other than English and mathematics. Teachers will be unable to check what pupils know and can do in most subjects.  The standard is this part is unlikely to be met.  The proprietor body has not ensured that all standards in this part are likely to be met.

This includes the opportunity for pupils to learn about a range of cultures and religions.  There are no plans or schemes of work in place to demonstrate how fundamental British values will be positively promoted, nor how teachers will encourage respect and tolerance for other people, paying particular attention to the protected

p.2

Main inspection findings

characteristics.  The standards in this part are unlikely to be met Paragraph 5(c), 5(d), 5(d)(i), 5(d)(ii), 5(d)(iii)  The proprietor body has made assurances that it would not promote partisan or political views in the teaching of any subject. The code of conduct is clear that staff must always present balanced viewpoints to pupils. However, as there are no curriculum plans or schemes of work, there is no guidance for teachers on how such aspects of the curriculum will be delivered.  The proprietor body has ensured that there is a suitable behaviour policy in place to support pupils in how to understand right from wrong.  The standards in this part are unlikely to be met. Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraph 7, 7(a), 7(b)  The proprietor body has developed a detailed safeguarding and child protection policy.

She has received the appropriate training to be able to undertake this role effectively. All appropriate checks have been made for prospective members of staff before they start at the school. Plans are in place for all staff to receive suitable safeguarding training as part of the proposed school induction procedures.  This standard is likely to be met. Paragraphs 9, 9(a), 9(b), 9(c), 10  The proprietor body has ensured that there is a suitable written behaviour policy in place. The policy reflects leaders’ ambitions for pupils to be able to manage their own emotions and behaviour. The policy sets out clear expectations for leaders, staff and pupils.

rewards and sanctions that they may use to promote positive behaviour.  The proprietor body has ensured that there is an appropriate written policy in place for the prevention of bullying. The policy sets out clear expectations for leaders, staff and pupils. Reference is made to the different forms that bullying can take.
