Since 2010 we have received over 1500 applications to open a free school, all of which will have had some focus on the inclusion of disabled learners. Within this number we have received 89 applications to establish special free schools, 22 of which have been approved to proceed to the pre-opening stage and 67 rejected. The 67 applications were rejected because they failed to meet our quality threshold.<\/p>
<\/p>
Three of the 11 open special free schools have been inspected by Ofsted, (with two being rated as \u2018Good\u2019 and one as \u2018Outstanding\u2019). Once open, all free schools have a statutory duty to make sure disabled students are not discriminated against and to promote their interests.<\/p>

The Department for Education's statutory safeguarding guidance to local authorities, contained in \u2018Working Together to Safeguard Children\u2019, is clear on what action authorities have to take if they are concerned about the safety and welfare of any child in their area.
<\/p>
The department does not regard an excessively narrow curriculum as a child protection matter, although such provision does relate to parents\u2019 duty to ensure that children of compulsory school age receive a suitable full-time education, and the duty of local authorities to identify children who are not receiving such an education.
<\/p>
The department works closely with authorities when unregistered provision is identified to ensure that it is either registered or closed, and that safeguarding concerns are dealt with promptly.

Independent schools are not obliged to meet the requirements of section 78 of the Education Act 2002 for a broad and balanced curriculum which<\/p>
(a) promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society, and<\/p>
(b) prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, there are requirements in the independent school standards which, as explained in a previous Answer (HL3032), independent schools are obliged to follow. They contain a detailed standard for spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, and the revised standards which come into force on 5 January 2015 also include an enhanced requirement on preparation for adult life.<\/p>
The standards do not, as noted in Answer HL3032, prevent the teaching of creationism. Nor do they require the teaching of any specific scientific matters, such as evolution. However, in their arrangements for teaching science, schools are expected to imbue pupils with an appreciation of the need for an evidence-based approach, and an ability to think and learn for themselves.<\/p>
