Pupils at Ateres Elisheva are happy and enjoy attending school. They are greeted each morning by teachers with a smile. They like spending time with their friends and are enthusiastic about learning. They learn about a wide range of secular subjects (Chol) in addition to Jewish studies (Kodesh). Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. This prepares pupils well for the next stage of their education. Leaders and teachers have high expectations for pupils’ learning and behaviour. Pupils meet these aims by working hard and behaving very well. Pupils are inquisitive and contribute eagerly during lessons. Children in the early years are quick to settle and learn routines. Pupils are well mannered and kind to each other and staff. This helps them to feel safe. Any incidents of unacceptable behaviour are dealt with effectively and sensitively by leaders. This includes any rare occurrences of bullying. Leaders build up pupils’ sense of self-worth and self-belief. This helps pupils to develop confidence and resilience over their time at school. Leaders have created a thriving Sunday club where pupils love contributing to the creation of their own ‘middos kinder’ book. They learn about the interplay between Hebrew and British values and understand the importance of respect, acceptance and judging others favourably. Parents and carers speak warmly of the school. A typical parent comment was, ‘This is a fantastic school. It is by far the most caring. The teachers are there for the children to help them to learn and achieve.’
