Anyone notice the imagery used on the UK website? Pyramid, one eye covered https://kek.gg/i/3JdyVn.png

The messed up rainbow seems to be multicultural. Educational inspection board Ofsted, confirmed Rainbow Cultural Garden is not registered with them, and said allegations against the school were "extremely concerning". Britain does not have rules for starting schools? When did that start?

Free schools were introduced by the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition following the 2010 general election as part of the Big Society initiative to make it possible for parents, teachers, charities and businesses to set up their own schools

Free Schools still need to be OFSTED registered and inspected though

This sounds very shady, but sadly our government is well practiced at kicking stuff like this into the long grass

The question was about starting schools.

And OFSTED inspections no longer mean anything. Lots of issues around that organisation. For example : https://www.tes.com/news/exclusive-ofsted-rates-dozens-new-schools-outstanding-without-exam-results

Almost 40 new free schools have received “outstanding” judgements from Ofsted and exemption from future inspection before they achieved any formal results

Under the rules laid out in Ofsted’s school-inspection handbook, schools that are given an “outstanding” rating are exempt from future inspection unless a subsequent risk assessment raises concerns about their performance.

Leaving the door open for the charlatans. @YogSoggoth

(Edit: The school in the Hampstead case was rated 'outstanding')
