A recently opened private school in St Helens has been given the lowest possible Ofsted rating after inspectors found failings which “jeopardised student’s welfare”.
A.R.T.S education, which was originally based at Huyton Sea cadets when it first opened in September but later moved to a former church on Ormskirk Road in Rainford, received the lowest possible rating in a report published earlier this month.
The independent special school, which caters for 13 children, was visited in January as part of a statutory inspection carried out within the first 12 month of an independent private school being opened.
