A workshop for independent school Headteachers : explore a strategy for ensuring consistent compliance with the Independent School Standards
About this event
Background
All independent schools must meet all the paragraphs of the Independent School Standards in order to maintain their registration and keep their doors open. The DfE is very strict about this requirement as can be seen by the way they regulate and enforce this legislation. Under the 2019 Education Inspection Framework, failing to meet the standards almost guarantees an “inadequate” inspection judgment.
The latest Ofsted statistics published on the 29th of January 2021 showed that:
• 28% of Independent Schools inspected that had a standard inspection during the last academic year failed to meet the standards.
• 57% of those that had a progress monitoring inspection during the same period failed to demonstrate that they had addressed previously un-met standards.
Through our work with independent schools, we know why schools fail to meet the requirements of the standards. We have developed a proven strategy to ensure consistent compliance. We’re sharing this strategy through this workshop for Headteachers and SLTs.
Who is this course for?
Headteachers, School Principals, Governors, Trustees and Senior Managers of non-association independent schools .
What will be covered?
- why a significant number of schools fail to comply with the standards
- the standards that the majority of schools fail to meet and why
- strategy for ensuring consistent compliance with the standards
Delegates will be given the following resources:
- an audit tool for effectively checking compliance (RRP £100)
- a guidance document about how to ensure consistent compliance with the standards
- a guidance document about how to recover from a poor Ofsted inspection outcome

Directions & Parking
Our address is Al- Mahdi Institute, 60 Weoley Park Road, Selly Oak, B29 6RB.
The best way to get here is by car, on the M6 to Birmingham, then you follow the A38 all the way to Weoley Park Road. We are located right at the corner of Weoley Park Road and Shenley Fields Road - the entrance is on Shenley Fields Road. There is parking available onsite but it is limited. Street parking is available on Weoley Park Road and Shenley Field Road as well.
For those who travel by train, the closest station is Selly Oak Station, which is a mile away from the venue. However, it may be more convenient to get off the train at New Street Station and catch the x21 bus (towards Bartley Green) in front of the Bullring (Stop NS3, St Martin’s Queensway). That bus stops right outside the venue on Weoley Park Road (Springdale Gardens stop).
