Al Khair Primary School

Overview: The school is likely to meet the relevant independent school standards if the material change relating to the school provision is implemented. The inspection was commissioned by the Department for Education to advise on the school's likely compliance with the independent school standards relevant to the material change.

Strengths:

• Leaders demonstrate a secure understanding of the independent school standards and have ensured they have been consistently met over time.
• The school has appropriate arrangements in place to keep pupils safe from harm, with staff being vigilant and acting promptly on any concerns.
• The school has a suitable risk assessment policy, with leaders identifying hazards, noting potential risks, and listing current control measures.

Areas to improve:

• The school needs to resolve the issue of less well-documented decision-making and subsequent actions in relation to safeguarding concerns.
• The school needs to address the few outstanding medium-term risks identified in the fire risk assessment, such as a faulty hinge on a fire door and an internal classroom fire door with a small hole in the frame.

Safeguarding: The school has appropriate arrangements in place to keep pupils safe from harm, with staff being vigilant and acting promptly on any concerns, and pupils demonstrating a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe.
