In 2002 the school was one of a group of Christian schools which challenged the ban on corporal punishment in UK schools, [9] citing Proverbs Chapter 23:13–14: "Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die", but their case, R. (on the application of Williamson) v Secretary of State for Education and Employment, was rejected by the Law Lords in 2005. [10] [11]
In 2014 the Charity Commission published an Inquiry into the school, as one of a number of "charities that were in default of their statutory obligations to meet reporting requirements by failing to file their annual documents for two or more years in the last five years", had been given a final warning and were still in default. [12] [13] The report stated that the school's trustees response had been "whilst they had failed to submit accounts on time the charity was still functioning as a successful organisation, the trustees were keen to put things right and would not allow the situation to happen again". [12]
