Independent School Standards
Policies, safeguarding, curriculum, welfare, premises and information standards prepared for registration and inspection.
Registration status
Transparent status while we register
Evolution Education Limited is applying for Independent School status as a sport-specialist alternative provision provider. Until registration is complete we describe our arrangements accurately.
Where we are now
Evolution Education Limited (company number 14142140) delivers sport-specialist alternative provision for young people aged 11 to 16. Places are commissioned by schools and local authorities. We do not offer public self-referral.
For the current academic period we deliver full-time provision under a local authority commissioned partnership arrangement that uses the registered Unique Reference Number (URN) of Jo Richardson Community School (URN 133561). That host-school registration status sits alongside our own organisational accountability as Evolution Education Limited.
In parallel we are working towards Independent School registration for Evolution Education. When registration is granted, Evolution Education will appear on Get Information About Schools with its own URN, and this page will be updated with the GIAS record and, after inspection, any Ofsted report link.
