Card, in a frame

Spells each area out in words. A frame's contents are a separate page, so the link inside it does not count as a link from your site — the second line adds one that does.

The grades come from Ofsted's published report card and nothing else. If you ask us to remove this page, the badge stops showing anything about Home from Home wherever it has been embedded.
