The Jewish Senior Boys’ School was established in 1966 and is situated in a large Victorian building near Broughton Park, Salford. It is owned by Keser Charities Limited and provides education for ultra-orthodox Hasidic boys aged from 10 to 16 years. The majority of students come from Yiddish-speaking homes and speak English as an additional language. The school currently has 96 students on roll aged 12 years and above, none of whom has a statement of special educational needs. The school is founded on the principles of providing an orthodox Jewish education without compromising the need for essential secular studies. The school’s goal is to nurture the best qualities inherent in each student and to guide them on the road to maximise their potential as community members. The school’s last standard inspection was in November 2014 when its overall effectiveness was judged to be inadequate and a number of the independent school regulations were not met. Following this, the school drew up and submitted an action plan outlining how it proposed to address the failed regulations. This was evaluated by Ofsted in February 2015 and found to require improvement.
