Focus School Biggleswade Campus is a co-educational day school of special religious character, situated in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Biggleswade in Bedfordshire. It is formed from two previous schools (one secondary and the other primary) that have now closed in Barnet and Cheshunt and some pupils have transferred from a Focus school in Dunstable. The school currently provides continuing education for 158 pupils between the ages of 7 and 18. There are 67 boys and 91 girls on roll. Two pupils have a statement of special educational need and a further thirty-six are identified by the school as having varying degrees of special learning needs. Thirty-seven pupils are identified as being able, gifted or talented (AGT). No pupils have English as an additional language (EAL). Converted from former commercial premises, the buildings and grounds now have the character of a purpose-built school. This is the first full Independent School Inspection of the school since it was opened September 2014 but it received a Material Change inspection on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE) in October 2014. Summary of main findings: Focus School Biggleswade Campus has quickly become established as a thriving and successful school as a result of the clear vision of the trustees and school’s management, supported by the hard-working staff.
