These may include settings which offer a broad curriculum for only a limited number of hours per week or settings which offer a narrow curriculum with a particular focus. Understanding clearly where your setting fits into the current legislative framework is vital, given the potentially ramifications of inadvertently running an independent educational institution.

We can provide advice and guidance in respect of the legislation for independent educational institutions and independent schools, and ensure that your setting understands whether it falls within the remit of providing full-time or part-time education. We are also supporting settings to understand the implications of planned legislative change in the Children’s Wellbeing and School Bill.  We can advise on any necessary steps to avoid registration obligations. In the event that your setting is, however, required to register with the Department for Education, we can support with the registration requirements.
