Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the obligation in question continues to serve a 'useful purpose'; and if so, whether it would serve that purpose equally well if modified as proposed

What decided it

The proposed modifications would retain the essential control mechanism ensuring the School provides education only to ASD-diagnosed pupils, thereby preserving the obligation's useful purpose of supporting that aim, while opening the way to alternative competent providers regulated by Ofsted.
