Beis Trana Girls' School in detail

Results

The Department for Education's GCSE measures do not count IGCSEs, which many independent schools take instead of GCSEs, so the Attainment 8 and English and maths figures it publishes for Beis Trana Girls' School can understate its results. We do not rank or compare them; ask the school for its own GCSE and IGCSE results.

Ofsted Insights

From Ofsted's November 2024 inspection report.

What This School Does Well

This is a warm, welcoming school where girls genuinely enjoy coming to learn. The behaviour is exceptional and pupils show strong respect for each other and staff. The school has worked hard to improve its curriculum, with particular strengths in early reading and mathematics, where pupils achieve well by GCSE.

Key Strengths

  • Exceptional behaviour and conduct - pupils are respectful, enthusiastic and respond quickly to staff guidance
  • Strong sense of belonging and safety - pupils love attending school and have positive relationships with staff
  • Good quality curriculum that now flows logically from early years through to Year 11 with clear learning steps
  • Excellent teaching of early reading with well-trained staff and strong subject knowledge
  • High achievement in mathematics with pupils confident by GCSE

Areas for Improvement

  • School does not fully comply with statutory guidance on PSHE and relationships and sex education - pupils are not taught about all protected characteristics or consent
  • Some recently changed subjects are not yet fully embedded in lessons, limiting pupils' deeper subject knowledge
  • Early years environment and resources do not always inspire children's learning and development

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

Extracurricular Activities

Visits to Buckingham Palace, museums, local supermarket and park, whole school celebrations, performances, sports days

Beis Trana Girls' School is an independent day school for girls aged 3-16 from Charedi Jewish families. While the school has made improvements since its previous inspection, it requires improvement overall and has not met all independent school standards.
