Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

This school creates an exceptionally positive learning environment where girls develop outstanding behaviour, respect and confidence. Teachers are dedicated to knowing each pupil well and supporting them, particularly those with additional needs. The school successfully blends religious and academic education, achieving impressive results in core subjects while fostering strong spiritual and moral development.

Key Strengths

  • Pupils' behaviour and personal development are outstanding, with exemplary conduct and excellent relationships throughout the school
  • Strong progress in Torah studies, mathematics, geography and biblical Hebrew, with very strong GCSE results
  • Dual curriculum combining religious studies (Kodesh) and secular studies (Chol) provides rich education for all pupils
  • Teachers have good subject knowledge, know their pupils well and have high expectations
  • Leadership and management have positively impacted teaching quality and pupil achievement

Areas for Improvement

  • Teachers do not consistently use assessment information to match teaching to individual pupils' needs, meaning some pupils make slower progress
  • Marking does not always clearly identify what pupils need to do to improve their work
  • Pupils lack sufficient opportunities to respond to marking and feedback
  • Monitoring of teaching and learning procedures need to be more rigorous and linked to professional development

Safeguarding

The school's procedures for pupil safety are effective and the senior leaders have made good provision for ensuring that pupils are safe.

Extracurricular Activities

Drama, music, art, charity drives, end of year events, school shows, shmiras haloshon activity, festival celebrations (Chanukah, Purim, Yom Tovim), weekend community service helping younger pupils from needy families

Beis Malka Girls' School is an independent day school for orthodox Jewish girls aged 3-16 years located in London. The school is judged as good overall, with outstanding behaviour and personal development among its pupils.
