Ficino School Meets All Private School Registration Criteria
ERO's 2022 review confirmed that Ficino School meets all the required criteria for registration as a private school under the Education and Training Act 2020. It is important to note that private school ERO reviews are significantly more limited in scope than those conducted for state schools, focusing only on whether minimum registration requirements are met rather than providing a broader quality assessment. Parents should seek additional information directly from the school to form a fuller picture.
