  • Pupils learn about personal safety including road safety and stranger danger
  • Staff maintain communication with external agencies to ensure pupil safety
  • The school has an appropriate accessibility plan in place

Areas for Improvement

  • PSHE curriculum is underdeveloped and does not adequately teach pupils about different religions, beliefs and cultures
  • Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum does not meet statutory requirements for primary-age pupils
  • Pupils are not well prepared for life in modern Britain due to limited understanding of diversity
  • Attendance and admission registers for early years and Reception class are not kept electronically and lack emergency contact details
  • Leadership has not sufficiently progressed improvements despite previous inspection findings

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective with secure reporting procedures, regular staff training, and good communication with external agencies, though attendance registers for early years and Reception require improvement.

Beis Ruchel Girls School is an orthodox Jewish faith school for girls aged 2-11 in Salford, Manchester. The school does not meet all independent school standards, with particular concerns about the curriculum and pupils' understanding of different cultures and beliefs.
