COBIS Candidate Schools

'Candidate Schools' (aspiring ‘Associate Member’) are those whose plans to open meet our standards. They must satisfy COBIS criteria for planning a new school. This status is available for 12 months before to 24 months after opening. Thereafter an application is required to an alternative membership level.

COBIS Associate Members

COBIS Associate Member

‘Associate Members’ are schools of good quality which have either successfully completed inspection of school development and improvement with a body recognised by COBIS (currently the CIS),

or have satisfied us of their suitability and committed to a BSO inspection within three years.

[COBIS appreciates that a BSO inspection might not be appropriate for every school.  In this case ‘Associate Members’ who do not complete a BSO inspection within three years will at the discretion of the COBIS Executive Committee be expected to submit a selection of revised documents to retain COBIS ‘Associate Membership’. At the very least these documents will include a current child protection policy, school development plan, safer recruitment policy and articles of association for the governing body. Where CIS accreditation is held, confirmation will also be required after three years for Associate membership renewal.]
