In June 2024 ARTS Education underwent another unannounced monitoring visit where we are pleased to announce we are making continued progress in all areas and improving on those that where initially a cause for concern.

In addition, after a lengthy application process we have received communication from the Department for Education (DfE), regarding the material change ARTS Education submitted to increase our student numbers from 14 to 22.

Unfortunately OFSTED where unable to reflect this proposed increase in their monitoring visit report. However, we are pleased to include the official confirmation from the DfE regarding the approval of this material change.

Now that we have successfully met all the required standards that were previously a cause for concern in our previous monitoring visits, we are optimistic about achieving an improved rating during our next inspection.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school office using the contact details at the bottom of this page.

Ofsted Monitoring Inspection October 2023

In October 2023, our school received an unannounced Ofsted school progress monitoring inspection. We were pleased to be recognised for the progress we have made since our previous inspection, even though the outcome of the monitoring visit will not change our rating at this stage we are confident in our long term goals to remedy this. The inspector noted that ARTS Education has a strong action plan in place to address the areas for improvement that were identified, and the inspector also acknowledged our recent recruitment drive of experienced staff. We are committed to implementing our action plan and we will continue to strive to identify additional areas in which we can improve, we continue to be confident that we can provide our students with an excellent education.

Ofsted Inspection January 2023

Since our last OFSTED report, we have made significant improvements to our school. We have increased our staff training, introduced new teaching methods, recruited additional highly motivated specialised staff and created a more supportive environment for all students. As a result, we have seen a significant improvement in student outcomes. We know that there is still more work to be done and we are confident that these improvements will continue. We are committed to providing our students with the best possible education.

We are happy to discuss any part of our OFSTED report and the changes planned, and made so far with parents, LEA's, and external professionals (where relevant). We will continue to be open, honest and transparent. To discuss our report please email parentmail@artseducation.co.uk and subject your query with 'OFSTED REPORT'
