Main inspection findings
Part 1. Quality of education provided Paragraphs 2(1)(b)(ii), 2(2)(g), 2(2)(h), 2(2)(i), 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(e), 3(g), 4 These independent school standards (the standards) were identified as unmet at the previous standard inspection in June 2022. At the time, inspectors found shortfalls in the design and organisation of the curriculum. Teachers were unclear about what to teach because leaders had not identified the key subject knowledge that pupils needed to be taught. In addition, teachers’ knowledge of some subjects was not secure. As a result, pupils did not achieve well. Prior to this inspection, the proprietor failed to submit an action plan to the Department for Education (DfE) that should have set out how leaders intended to meet the unmet standards in the different parts of the standards. However, despite this, leaders have taken a range of actions to address many, but not all, of the previous weaknesses

Main inspection findings
identified. Leaders have strengthened the organisation and delivery of the curriculum. This has included identifying and setting out the precise knowledge that pupils are expected to learn. This work has been supported by a new staff appointment to assist with the curriculum development work. Teachers have also benefited from professional development to improve their knowledge and practice. Teachers consider the specific needs of pupils when designing sequences of learning. Pupils’ programmes of work are carefully matched to an individual pupil’s education, health and care (EHC) plan. During lessons, staff keep close checks on pupils’ learning, and intervene where necessary, to enable pupils to learn and to make progress. Staff have designed a suitable programme of study for post-16 students. This builds on their knowledge and skills from the end of key stage 4 and addresses previous gaps in learning. Leaders provide college visits for students, in addition to wider experiences

Main inspection findings
within the community. Leaders have put in place effective transition arrangements for students to help with a smooth move from school to college. The standards in this part are now met. Paragraph 2A(1), 2A(1)(a), 2A(1)(b), 2A(1)(d), 2A(1)(e), 2A(1)(f), 2A(2) At the time of the June 2022 standard inspection, inspectors found weaknesses in the personal development programme provided to pupils, particularly in relation to their relationships and sex education (RSE). Consequently, pupils were not as well prepared for adulthood as they should have been. Leaders ensure that pupils are taught RSE content, relevant to their age and understanding. The programme is now organised in a way that enables pupils to build their knowledge progressively. Pupils learn about healthy relationships and sexual health topics, including contraception. Leaders have implemented a BTEC qualification for personal, social and health education, so that pupils can receive external validation for
p.1
Main inspection findings
their work. Leaders have consulted with parents and carers on the RSE programme and informed them of their right to withdraw their children from lessons. The standards in this part are now met. Paragraphs 2(1), 2(1)(a), 2(1)(b), 2(1)(b)(i), 2(2), 2(2)(e), 2(2)(e)(i), 2(2)(e)(ii), 2(2)(e)(iii), 3, 3(d) At the previous inspection, inspectors found that leaders lacked ambition and did not have high enough expectations of pupils. Key stage 4 pupils, and students in the sixth form, had access to a narrow range of subjects and qualifications. In addition, secondary pupils were not receiving a planned programme of careers advice to enable them to make informed choices about their futures. Leaders ensure that some careers guidance is available for older secondary pupils, including opportunities for work experience. However, the programme does not adequately meet the needs of all secondary pupils. Leaders have not put in place a
p.2
Main inspection findings
structured careers programme that enables pupils to build their knowledge of a range of careers. Pupils’ understanding of the different routes that they might take into the world of work is more limited than it should be. Leaders’ changes to the curriculum, while many of these are positive, have not gone far enough to meet the needs of all pupils. The curriculum offers the seven key areas of experience as defined by the standards. However, older pupils who are more able do not have the opportunity to study some subjects to a greater level of depth. Leaders have started to expand pupils’ access to a broader range of subjects since the previous inspection. The standards in this part remain unmet. Part 3. Welfare, health and safety of pupils Paragraphs 7, 7(a), 7(b), 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 16(a), 16(b) This standard was judged as unmet at the school’s standard inspection in June 2022. Inspectors found that leaders had not ensured that there were appropriate welfare,
p.2
Main inspection findings
health and safety arrangements in place to keep pupils safe from harm. In addition, leaders had not taken sufficient steps to reduce risks to pupils. Leaders have addressed the previously identified weaknesses in safeguarding. The school’s safeguarding policy, which is published on the school’s website, is comprehensive and contains all the necessary appropriate content. The policy takes into account the latest government guidance. Staff implement the school’s safeguarding policy effectively. They are vigilant, report any emerging concerns quickly and take prompt action to keep pupils safe. Leaders understand the additional vulnerabilities that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) may be exposed to and they take appropriate steps to mitigate risk. Staff teach pupils about how to keep themselves safe through planned curriculum experiences. This includes online safety. All safer recruitment checks for staff are in place and they are recorded accurately on the
p.2
Main inspection findings
school’s single central record. Leaders maintain effective oversight of this document and keep it updated. Leaders have a suitable health and safety policy in place that is implemented effectively. The policy includes helpful guidance, including when it is necessary to report significant accidents to the Health and Safety Executive. Appropriate risk assessments are in place and leaders have addressed the previous issues with fire safety. The fire risk assessment is up to date and there is adequate fire-fighting equipment. Staff monitor pupils’ attendance carefully and follow up any absence. They record attendance accurately in class registers, using the correct attendance codes. Leaders ensure that the admissions register contains all the required information. The standards in this part are now met. Part 4. Suitability of staff, supply staff, and proprietors Paragraphs 18(2), 18(2)(b), 18(2)(d), 20(6), 20(6)(a), 20(6)(a)(ii), 21(1), 21(3), 21(3)(a),

Main inspection findings
21(3)(a)(iii), 21(3)(a)(v), 21(3)(a)(vi), 21(4), 21(6), 21(7), 21(7)(a) At the standard inspection, it was found that leaders had not carried out all the required pre-employment checks to assure themselves that staff were suitable to work with children. Leaders have ensured that all required pre-employment checks, including section 128 checks, have been carried out. This information is accurately recorded on an electronic single central record. Leaders have also ensured that checks on members of the proprietor body have been completed. The standards in this part are now met. Part 5. Premises of and accommodation at schools Paragraphs 23(1), 23(1)(a), 23(1)(c), 24(1), 24(1)(a), 24(1)(b), 24(2), 25, 28(1), 28(1)(b), 28(1)(c) At the standard inspection, it was found that the proprietor and headteacher had not ensured that the school’s premises provided suitable and safe accommodation for pupils. Showers were inaccessible and not all toilets were in good working order. In addition,
p.3
Main inspection findings
leaders’ checks on first-aid resources had lapsed and the premises were not well maintained. Leaders have taken action to remedy the previously identified premises and medical room issues. There are now fully operational toilets and washing facilities for pupils. Drinking water is labelled appropriately. The showers are accessible for pupils to use. A programme of building maintenance is underway, although elements of this have been delayed due to the long-lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. There have been several repairs since the previous inspection, addressing the previous health and safety concerns. However, the décor looks tired in parts of the building. Leaders said that further building maintenance work is planned to take place over the summer holidays. The school has two suitable first-aid rooms, containing sinks, and which are nearby to a toilet. There are appropriately stocked first-aid kits. The rooms are used for alternative
p.3
Main inspection findings
means, although can be vacated quickly when needed to accommodate a pupil who is ill or who requires first aid. These rooms are not used for teaching. The standards in this part are now met. Part 6. Provision of information Paragraph 32(1), 32(1)(b), 32(1)(c), 32(1)(g), 32(1)(h), 32(3), 32(3)(c), 32(3)(d), 32(3)(f) At the time of the previous inspection in June 2022, leaders had not ensured that they had provided all the information as required by the standards. Some key policies were not in place. In addition, the proprietor did not provide an annual account of income received, and expenditure incurred, in relation to pupils funded by local authorities. Leaders have ensured that all required information, as specified by the standards, is made available to parents and inspectors. This includes a curriculum policy, as well as policies relating to anti-bullying and risk assessment. These policies are readily available
p.4
Main inspection findings
and easy to locate on the school’s website. The standards in this part are now met. Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools Paragraph 34(1)(c) At the previous inspection in June 2022, this standard was judged as unmet. Inspectors had identified several weaknesses that negatively impacted on pupils’ well-being, including failings related to safeguarding. Leaders have taken action to remedy safeguarding weaknesses and address the curriculum deficiencies relating to pupils’ personal development. Staff show care and respect for the pupils and students in their charge. They take careful account of their sensory needs to try to reduce levels of anxiety. Promoting pupils’ positive well-being is now central to the school’s work. The standard in this part is now met. Paragraph 34(1), 34(1)(a), 34(1)(b) At the last inspection, the proprietor had not taken sufficient action to ensure that all the
p.4
Main inspection findings
independent school standards were met. Shortfalls were identified in relation to the school’s curriculum, the education that pupils experienced, safeguarding, the condition of the premises and the provision of information to parents. Until very recently, the headteacher had not developed a suitable action plan to address the previously identified weaknesses in the school’s provision. The new action plan addresses most of the previously unmet standards, although at the time of the inspection, the proprietor had not yet formally adopted this plan. Leaders have taken a number of steps to bring about improvements to the school, including the appointment of appropriately qualified staff to support with the development of the curriculum. Leaders have also taken decisive action where staff were not performing well. Staff have embraced the changes to the curriculum, including how it is taught and assessed. This has led to teachers’ improved practice and pupils learning
p.4
Main inspection findings
more successfully. However, despite these improvements, there are still a few aspects of the school’s work that leaders have not adequately addressed. This includes the structured provision of careers education, the breadth of the curriculum at key stage 4, and meeting the needs of the most able pupils. Therefore, several of the previously unmet standards continue to be unmet. Leaders have assessed themselves against the standards. However, leaders’ quality assurance measures are heavily reliant on the EHC plan annual review process and outcomes from local authority monitoring visits. Other than this, leaders have sought little external advice to get an independent view of the school’s performance. In addition, the current leadership structure is such that capacity is somewhat limited. The standards in this part remain unmet.

Information about this school
Almost all pupils attending the school have an EHC plan. Most pupils have identified specific learning difficulties. The school also caters for pupils who have dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism spectrum disorder. The school’s previous standard inspection was from 21 to 23 June 2022. Leaders do not use any alternative provision. There are no key stage 1 pupils on roll at the school currently.

Information about this inspection
This inspection was carried out at the request of the registration authority for independent schools. The purpose of the inspection was to monitor the progress that the school has made in meeting the independent school standards and the other requirements that it was judged not to comply with at its previous inspection. This was the second inspection the school received since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Inspectors discussed the impact of the pandemic with leaders and have taken that into account in their evaluation of the school. This was the first progress monitoring inspection since the standard inspection in June 2022. It was conducted without notice. Inspectors met with the headteacher and staff. They reviewed a range of school documentation, including schemes of work, policies, admission and attendance registers and risk assessments. Inspectors visited lessons and looked at pupils’ work.
p.8
Information about this inspection
Inspectors spoke alone with several groups of pupils about their learning, experiences of school and keeping safe. The lead inspector met with the school’s proprietor. One inspector conducted a tour of the premises.
