Catch22 is an independent school located in Newark and in Nottingham. The school’s proprietor is the chief executive of Catch22, a social business. The business owns a group of schools. The school’s leaders work closely with professionals from this group of schools. An executive principal, an executive vice-principal and two assistant principals have oversight of the leadership of these schools, as well as that of Catch22. Since the previous inspection, the school has opened an additional site located at 7 Poplar Street, Fishergate, Nottingham NG1 1GP. Furthermore, the school has changed its registration status to teach pupils aged between 13 and 16. Inspection report: Catch22, 2–4 April 2019 Page 8 of 13 Each site also has a provision for pupils who are aged 16 and over. This provision was not part of this inspection. Ofsted inspects this provision separately. There are 18 pupils on roll. These include pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and pupils who are in the care of the local authority. Almost all pupils have social, emotional and mental-health difficulties. Pupils’ mobility is high. There is a high proportion of pupils who arrive at or leave the school during the academic year. Twelve of the pupils currently on the school roll, for example, have joined the school since January 2019. Pupils are placed at the school either by local authorities or by Unity Learning Centre, which is an educational provision for pupils in key stage 4 who have been permanently excluded from mainstream schools or academies in Nottingham. The school’s ethos is to ‘provide an environment which prepares pupils as confident, happy citizens’ who ‘flourish academically and prepare for their adult life’. The school does not use the services of any alternative providers. The school’s previous standard inspection took place on 13–15 December 2016, when the overall effectiveness was judged good.
