School Description

The proprietor has not ensured that governance arrangements are strong enough. A number of independent school standards are not met, including records that show that all safeguarding checks have been made. The proprietor has not made sure that the school complies with its registration requirements agreed with the Department for Education (DfE). Staff support pupils well in developing their personal skills and in helping them overcome difficulties. They understand pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Pupils are happy at the school. Many have a history of disjointed education in the past. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the education the school provides for their children. One parent said, ‘There is great life coaching’ at the school. Staff are positive role models. Pupils get on well together and are tolerant of others’ differences. Pupils say that there is no bullying at the school. They say that any concern is dealt with quickly by staff. One pupil said, ‘There is always an adult to help you here.’ Recently appointed senior leaders have high ambition for pupils and for what they can achieve. Staff say that the school has vastly improved under the current principal’s leadership.

Lighthouse School Catchment Area Map

This school is independently managed and its admission criteria may be selective. There is no set catchment area as pupils are admitted from a wide variety of postcodes and, in the case of boarding schools, from outside the UK.
