Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools

When we carry out pre-registration inspections of proposed independent schools, we report on the provider's likely compliance with part 8 of the independent school standards first. Under part 8, the proprietor is required to ensure that the school meets all of the independent school standards consistently. The standard in part 8 is intended to ensure that the quality of leadership and management at the school is sufficient for that purpose.

Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools

The proprietor, and leaders that have already been appointed, have significant prior experience as senior leaders in schools. They demonstrate the skills and knowledge to fulfil their roles effectively. Leaders have a secure understanding of the independent school standards (the standards). Leaders are likely to fulfil their responsibilities effectively. Leaders have a clear vision for the school. They have an appropriate understanding of working with pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have prepared a suitable and well organised curriculum. They plan to promote pupils’ wellbeing through an individualised offer that supports pupils’ academic and personal development and meets their SEND needs. The proprietor has established approaches for leaders to review and evaluate their work, such as through a suitable quality assurance cycle. This includes plans for regular checks on the effectiveness of teaching and learning. The proprietor has

Everything Education School, 10 June 2026 2 also created a tracking system to monitor the school’s intended consistent compliance with the standards. Leaders are aware of their duty to refer anyone they deem unsuitable to work with children to the disclosure and barring service.

Part 8. Quality of leadership in and management of schools

At the previous pre-registration inspection, the standards in part 8 were judged as not likely to be met. This was because the proprietor had not ensured that standards in part 1 were all likely to be met. The layout and capacity of the proposed school’s premises were not adequate to enable staff to deliver the curriculum as intended for the proposed number of pupils. Since then, the proprietor has amended the proposed number of pupils on roll and changed the way they plan to use the spaces in the school. Consequently, the standards in part 1 are now likely to be met.

Curriculum

The proposed school has created an ambitious and sequenced curriculum to provide pupils of secondary age with an effective, individualised education. The curriculum policy outlines how the school intends to equip pupils to learn well and make progress from their individual starting points. The curriculum is supported by detailed schemes of work for each national curriculum subject from year 7 to 11. These plans will inform teachers about what needs to be taught, and in what order. Leaders intend for pupils to work towards GCSE qualifications when appropriate. The curriculum will be adapted through alternative pathways for those students who are at earlier stages of learning. Leaders are aware that some pupils may have gaps in their learning from previous spells out of education. They have identified how they will focus on foundational skills to address these gaps and provide opportunities for pupils to catch up. This
