Pupils at this school benefit from a warm, inclusive and increasingly aspirational environment, rooted in deep community connections. Pupils are happy. They appreciate the positive relationships that they have built with staff. Staff know the pupils and their families very well. This helps to ensure that pupils are safe. Leaders are ambitious for their pupils and their determination to provide the very best is evident. Likewise, staff have high expectations for what pupils can achieve. A focus on transferable skills, particularly between the Kodesh and secular curriculums, helps pupils build confidence and deepen understanding. Leaders have carefully nurtured links with local Jewish schools. This supports curriculum refinement and is raising aspirations and achievement. Pupils behave very positively during lessons and at breaktimes. The school has recently reviewed the behaviour system, which has had a positive impact on pupils’ motivation, attitudes to learning and conduct around the school. The school has designed a personal development programme that supports pupils to be tolerant of and respect people with different beliefs and values. However, the school does not ensure that pupils have a depth of understanding of all aspects of life in modern Britain. The school has a renowned choir, where pupils receive expert tuition in solo and choral singing.
