The standard of secular education is weak, and the curriculum is not ambitious enough. Leaders have begun to tackle the most important priorities, especially teaching pupils to read and write fluently in English. There is more emphasis on the teaching of phonics. However, it is early days, and standards of literacy remain poor. In mathematics, pupils deepen their knowledge in a logical way. In other subjects, planning is haphazard. Pupils do not learn enough about science, history or geography. Pupils behave well, enjoy school and are keen to learn. The school deals well with bullying. Pupils say that bullying rarely happens. They know that if it occurs, staff will sort things out quickly. Pupils feel safe in school. The school promotes the fundamental British values effectively. It teaches pupils to respect others, regardless of their background, and the importance of upholding the laws of the land. Pupils are polite, courteous and respectful of others. However, not all the protected characteristics are covered. Pupils are not given information about same-sex relationships or gender reassignment. Parents and carers say that their children are well cared for. They are especially supportive of the school’s staff and how they help their children to gain confidence. Parents told us that that their children are happy and safe at school. Parents value the school’s Jewish teaching and ethos.
