Rodenhurst School is currently not meeting the required independent school standards across several critical areas, particularly regarding its educational curriculum and safeguarding policies. The absence of a structured curriculum and assessment framework has hindered teachers from effectively addressing pupils’ needs and supporting their academic progress. Additionally, the school is experiencing significant leadership challenges, with no headteacher or acting headteacher in place, which has contributed to a lack of oversight and effective management of educational standards and student welfare.
