Overview
As of 28 February 2026, failings against the Independent School Standards were found at these independent schools.
The Department for Education has issued a warning notice to each of these schools. The annex to each school’s warning notice sets out which standards they are failing.
The schools must submit an action plan. The action plan needs to:
- detail the steps the school will take to meet all the standards set out in the annex to the warning notice
- include a timeline showing when they will take each step
- be submitted by the date specified in the warning notice
Following submission and evaluation of the action plan schools are reinspected. If, at that inspection, the Independent School Standards are found to be met, the warning notice is withdrawn, and the school is removed from this list. Similarly, if a school in receipt of a warning notice closes, the school is removed from this list.
Read a full inspection report on the individual school’s website, or search for a school’s latest report on the Ofsted or Independent Schools Inspectorate websites.
