Aya College (Educational Provision)

Aya College has made significant improvements since its last inspection, now meeting all independent school standards. The school has developed a well-structured curriculum that is ambitious and includes appropriate subject content. Although the school previously faced challenges when it lacked pupils and staff, it has since appointed experienced leadership and implemented suitable subject plans, ensuring that there is adequate training and support for teaching staff. The RSE provision meets statutory requirements, providing students with essential knowledge about relationships and health education. Despite previous weaknesses in leadership oversight, the governing body is now more robust and effectively supports the school. There has been a focus on securing compliance with all standards, and the school's efforts have been recognized as successful during this monitoring inspection. Although record-keeping showed minor errors, these were promptly rectified, enabling the school to fully meet its regulatory requirements and moving towards a stronger educational provision overall.
