Park Avenue Girls’ High School is a Muslim independent school for girls aged 11 to 16 years. The previous standard inspection was undertaken in June 2014. The school does not use any alternative educational providers. Four trustees make up the governing body. One is the chair of this body. They are new since the last inspection. The school has not informed the DfE of this change. The trustees have purchased a new building very close to the existing site. This building was, until recently, a school. The proprietors are working on making this building suitable for pupils. It is not possible to evaluate when this building will be ready because the funds for major renovation have not yet been secured. Inspection report: Park Avenue Girls’ High School, 10–12 October 2017 Page 11 of 13 Information about this inspection This standard inspection was commissioned by the DfE. Following a material change inspection in October 2016, the Department for Education (DfE) issued an enforcement notice because the current provision and premises did not meet the parts 3, 4 and 8 of the independent school standards. During this inspection, the DfE asked the inspection team to evaluate the school’s progress towards meeting the requirements of the enforcement notice. Inspectors met with the headteacher and other senior staff, teachers and trustees. They undertook a detailed site walk of the current school site with the headteacher, to evaluate whether the current premises meet the independent school standards. Inspectors met with pupils to gather their views. They visited parts of lessons across subjects and year groups, scrutinised pupils’ work over time, and talked with pupils about their work. Inspectors evaluated a range of documents, policies and systems, including leaders’ work to check staff’s suitability to work with children, safeguard pupils, assess pupils’ work and progress and monitor attendance and behaviour. There were insufficient responses to Parent View, Ofsted’s online questionnaire, for inspectors to consider. There were no responses to the pupil or staff questionnaires.
