Does the school meet the independent school standards?

p.1

What is it like to attend this school?

Although pupils are mostly happy when they are in school, many pupils do not attend school often enough or they arrive late. The school has not done enough to tackle absenteeism and poor punctuality. The school does not carry out sufficient checks to assure itself that pupils are safe when they are absent from school. This places pupils at potential risk of harm.

p.2

What is it like to attend this school?

The school has a relaxed attitude to the identification of risks to pupils’ safety. For example, it has not put suitable measures in place to protect pupils from accessing dangerous areas that are next to the school site.

p.2

What is it like to attend this school?

The school has secured improvements in the design and delivery of the English and mathematics curriculums. However, in some other subjects, the school does not have consistently high expectations for pupils’ achievement. Pupils’ attitudes to learning, and their conduct in school, show signs of improvement. However, their learning is not secure across a range of subjects. As a result, pupils are not as well prepared for their next steps as they should be.

p.2

What is it like to attend this school?

Typically, pupils have experienced a disrupted education journey before joining this school. Through the warm relationships that staff build with them, they learn to show respect and to resolve conflict without significant disruption to learning. This contributes to a calm and settled learning environment. However, some arrangements to promote pupils’ personal development are weak. Pupils do not benefit from as wide a range of experiences and opportunities to enrich curriculum knowledge and gain additional skills.

p.2

better?

Many aspects of the school’s provision are weak. The school has not done enough to identify or resolve its weaknesses. There is a lack of urgency to secure improvement.

p.2

better?

Since the previous inspection, the proprietor has introduced arrangements for external governance. However, this intention to increase leadership capacity and accountability has not been successful. This is because governors do not have the information that they need to provide suitable challenge.

p.2

better?

Pupils’ attendance does not have a high priority. There is a lack of oversight of pupils’ absence from school. This is because attendance records are not kept in line with statutory guidance. As a result, the school does not know the barriers that stop some pupils from attending regularly, nor does it address persistent absence with any sense of urgency. When pupils do attend, they often arrive so late that they miss significant parts of the school day. This has a negative impact on the learning of many pupils. In addition, the school does not have suitable systems to check that pupils who are not in school are safe. 21 to 23 January 2025 The English and mathematics curriculums help pupils to build new knowledge over time. They also lead to suitable accreditation that ensures pupils have some qualifications in readiness for their next steps. However, some other areas of the curriculum do not enable pupils to gain the knowledge that they need to be as

p.2

better?

successful. In addition, the checks on pupils’ learning do not help teachers to shape their teaching to overcome gaps in pupils’ knowledge. As a result, pupils do not achieve as well as they should.

p.3

better?

The school identifies pupils’ needs, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), appropriately. However, this information is not used consistently well to help pupils with SEND learn all that they should.

p.3

better?

The school has raised the profile of reading. Pupils understand the importance of being able to read accurately. Pupils read books that reflect their interests. Even so, not enough is done to pinpoint the precise gaps in pupils’ reading knowledge. Consequently, some of the help that pupils receive does not support them well enough to catch up quickly with reading.

p.3

better?

Pupils value the nurturing relationships that exist across the school. They feel well cared for. Pupils trust staff to deal with any issues that are shared with them. Classrooms are typically calm and orderly. However, when behaviour incidents do occur, the school does not record them consistently. As a result, the school does not build an accurate picture of each pupil’s behaviour or provide suitable support to help them to improve.

p.3

better?

The school provides some opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests or be active community citizens. When some of these activities are offered, they are organised to take place before and after school, and pupils choose not to participate. In contrast, the school has established a new approach to the careers information, education, advice and guidance that pupils receive. The school has also made some headway in designing and implementing a curriculum for personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education, and relationships and sex education (RSE).

p.3

better?

The proprietor lacks awareness of some of its responsibilities to meet the independent school standards (the standards). Some of these standards remain unmet since the previous inspection. This includes those related to safeguarding and pupils’ health, safety and welfare. For example, the school has not identified a suitable emergency route to a place of safety in the case of a fire. Additionally, information that should be made available to parents and carers is not provided such as the most recent inspection report or details of the school’s policies.

p.3

better?

The school does not comply with schedule 10 of the Equality Act 2010. It could not provide an accessibility plan.

p.3

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are not effective. 21 to 23 January 2025 The school has suitable systems and procedures to report and record child protection concerns. It works in partnership with relevant agencies when required. However, the school’s approach to poor punctuality and absence lacks rigour. The school does not follow its own policy to check that pupils, including many who are vulnerable, are safe when absent from school. It is unable to provide assurances of where pupils are and if they are safe when they are not in school.

p.3

(Information for the school and proprietor)

 The proprietor does not have accurate oversight of many aspects of the school’s effectiveness or its compliance with the standards. The proprietor does not ensure that required actions to bring about sustained improvement happen with enough urgency. The proprietor must make sure that there are suitable systems and procedures to check on the school’s work so that the standards are consistently met.  Many pupils do not attend school regularly or arrive to lessons late. The school does not identify the reasons for pupils’ absence or take suitable action to remove the barriers that stop some pupils from attending school as often as they should. The school must ensure that it identifies pupils’ barriers to regular attendance and punctuality and helps them to overcome these so that attendance rates improve.  The school’s oversight of pupils’ rates of attendance is weak. This means that pupils are put at potential risk because the school does not seek the necessary

p.4

(Information for the school and proprietor)

assurances about pupils’ whereabouts when they do not attend school. The school must ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to check that pupils are safe when they do not attend school.  Some aspects of the school’s offer for pupils’ personal development is limited. Pupils do not benefit from a wide and rich set of experiences that extend their learning beyond the academic aspect of their education. The school should ensure that pupils have the opportunity to engage in a wider range of experiences to enrich curriculum knowledge and gain additional skills.  The curriculum, for some subjects other than English and mathematics, is underdeveloped. It does not enable pupils to gain a secure body of knowledge over time. The school should make sure that the plans and schemes of work for all subjects provide staff with the necessary guidance to promote pupils’ achievement.  The school does not have an agreed process to check on what pupils know and

p.4

(Information for the school and proprietor)

remember of the curriculum. This means that teachers do not know whether pupils are building and consolidating their knowledge over time. The school should implement an approach to assessing pupils’ learning that gives teachers clear information about what pupils know and remember of their learning.  Some pupils are not taught to read well enough. Pupils’ gaps in their reading knowledge are not identified precisely enough. The school should ensure that pupils are supported to develop fluency and confidence in reading. 21 to 23 January 2025

Information about this school

 The last standard inspection took place on 28 to 30 March 2023. Since then, there has been a progress monitoring inspection on 16 November 2023.  The school does not make use of any alternative provision.  The school’s registered address is not where the school is currently operating from. The school operates from premises at 189-193 Picton Road, Liverpool, L9 4LP. The Department for Education (DfE) is aware of this change.  The school is operating beyond its registration agreement with the DfE. The school has admitted pupils who are below the registered age range. This was also the case at the previous inspection. There are pupils on roll who are aged 13. The school is registered for pupils aged 14 to 18.  The school is registered to admit 60 pupils. There are currently 23 pupils on roll.  Pupils’ places at the school are commissioned by Liverpool local authority and local schools.  Some pupils have an education, health and care plan. Most pupils have social,

Information about this inspection

Inspectors carried out this inspection under section 109(1) and (2) of the Education and Skills Act 2008. The purpose of the inspection is to advise the Secretary of State for Education about the school’s suitability for continued registration as an independent school.

p.7

Information about this inspection

The school has failed to meet the independent school standards. These are the requirements of the schedule to the Education (Independent School Standards) Regulations 2014.

p.7

Information about this inspection

 Inspections are a point-in-time evaluation about the quality of a school’s education provision.  Inspectors discussed any continued impact of the pandemic with leaders and have taken that into account in their evaluation of the school.  Inspectors met with the headteacher, who is also the proprietor, and the governors, including the chair of governors.  Inspectors carried out deep dives in these subjects: English, mathematics, history and PSHE education. For each deep dive, inspectors held discussions about the curriculum, looked at curriculum plans, visited a sample of lessons, spoke to teachers, spoke to some pupils about their learning and looked at samples of pupils’ work.  Inspectors also looked at curriculum plans and spoke to leaders about some other subjects.  There were no responses to Ofsted Parent View, or Ofsted’s online surveys for 21 to 23 January 2025 pupils and staff.  Inspectors spoke with pupils about their experiences of school life. They observed

p.7

Information about this inspection

pupils’ behaviour during lessons and at social times.  An inspector made a tour of the premises with the headteacher.  To evaluate the effectiveness of safeguarding, inspectors reviewed the single central record; took account of the views of leaders, staff and pupils; and considered the extent to which the school has created an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts pupils’ interests first.

p.8

The school’s progress in meeting previously failed standards

During the inspection we checked whether the school now meets the independent school standards that it was judged to have failed at its previous progress monitoring inspection on 14 November 2023.  The outcome of this part of the inspection is: the school now meets some of the previously failed standards.  The school has put in place suitable careers guidance that helps pupils to make informed choices about their future.  There is now a curriculum in place for RSE that reflects statutory guidance.  There is a health and safety policy in place, but it is not fit for purpose. It does not include relevant detail regarding the identification and mitigation of risk. There is significant risk posed to pupils directly next to the school site. The school has not taken action to reduce this risk. Risk assessments do not identify risks appropriately.  There were small administrative errors within the single central record that were
