Foro College is a day school located in a community centre close to Liverpool city centre. The college is registered for up to 30 boys and girls aged 11 to 16 years who do not have a place in mainstream schools. Most have been excluded from schools as a result of behavioural, social or emotional difficulties. A significant proportion of the students are recent migrants who cannot find a mainstream school placement because the local authority has none available; usually, these students have little or no understanding of the English language upon arrival. Almost all students are registered very late in their school career and almost all are placed here by one local authority. There are currently 30 students on roll with more boys than girls. Almost all are in Year 11. The college can admit students who have a statement of special educational needs but currently there are none. Occasionally, students are placed here on a part-time basis by the local authority in a transition arrangement designed to return them to full time education. The college aims to provide students with a final opportunity to gain positively from education so that they are better prepared for moving on to the next stages of their lives. The college does not have middle managers. Supply staff and classroom assistants are not employed. Foro was registered in July 2013. This is its first inspection.
