Instituto Espanol Canada Blanch has made significant progress since its previous inspection, where safeguarding was identified as a major concern. The school has successfully transformed its approach to safeguarding, implementing a thorough action plan and ensuring all staff are now appropriately trained in current statutory guidelines. Pupils, particularly in the sixth form, have benefited from enhanced teaching on how to manage risks related to safety, indicating a positive cultural shift within the school. Although the school operates under the Spanish education system, it has now met all the independent school standards that were checked during this inspection, allowing for a consideration of extending its age range from 5 to 19 to 3 to 19.
