The Japanese School

Overview: The Japanese School is a happy and caring school where leaders and staff form positive relationships with pupils. Pupils behave exceptionally well, are safe and feel safe, and are highly ambitious for academic achievement and personal development.

Strengths:

• Pupils are safe and feel safe.
• Pupils behave exceptionally well, with highly positive attitudes to their learning.
• The school provides pupils with the essential knowledge they need across a broad range of subjects through its ambitious and carefully organised curriculum.
• The school prepares pupils for life in Britain extremely well, teaching them about values and institutions in the UK and explaining how these align with Japanese culture.
• The school provides many opportunities for pupils to demonstrate kindness and respect to others.

Areas to improve:

• The proprietor's oversight to ensure the independent school standards are met consistently and securely is not robust enough, which may pose a risk to pupils' safety and welfare.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
