Independent Educational Services is a small independent day school for pupils who have social and emotional difficulties. The school offers 15 places for boys and girls aged eight to 19. Many of the pupils have not attended full-time education for a considerable time. All the pupils have an education, health and care plan. Inspection report: Independent Educational Services 28–30 January 2020 5 The school offers places to post-16 students. At the time of inspection, the number of post-16 students was extremely low. The school is part of a wider group which also operate two additional schools in the region. Local authorities, including Solihull and Leicestershire, place pupils at the school. The school is housed in a former medical practice. The school has four small classrooms and a larger hall space. Pupils can access a small secured outdoor space. The school was last inspected in July 2018, when it was judged to be inadequate, with several unmet standards. A subsequent monitoring visit took place in October 2019. Several standards around the quality of education remained unmet. The school does not make use of alternative provision. Pupils do, however, access local parks and sports facilities with school staff. Since the last inspection, several key staff have left the provision. Pupil numbers have also decreased. The proprietors advised inspectors that they plan to close the school before the end of the academic year.
