Focus schools
Focus schools are owned by the Focus Learning Trust (FLT) and run by local Exclusive Christian Brethren (ECB) communities. They tend to be small and cater primarily for secondary-aged pupils. Although many of these schools are in purpose-built school accommodation, others are found in unconventional settings such as parts of warehouses. In general, the schools are well-funded, well-organised and employ teachers, generally on a part-time basis, who are well qualified and experienced. The schools offer GCSE courses in most subjects. However, ICT is not taught at the schools, as the ECB remains fundamentally opposed to the use of electronic communication and the Internet.
Inspectors should note that since September 2006 FLT has set up its own inspectorate to inspect these schools. This inspectorate, the School Inspection Service (SIS), has been approved by the Secretary of State and Ofsted is responsible for monitoring the quality of its work.
