Ofsted Insights
From Ofsted's November 2025 inspection report.
What This School Does Well
The school has made efforts to develop a more structured personal, social and health education curriculum and ensures pupils feel safe and cared for. Staff are well-trained in safeguarding and respond promptly to any concerns. The curriculum includes a broader range of subjects than required by law.
Key Strengths
- Pupils feel well cared for and safe at school
- Staff attend regular safeguarding training with quizzes to check understanding
- The school has developed a more carefully sequenced PSHE curriculum that builds from primary to secondary
- The curriculum includes more subjects than required, such as typing and finance
Areas for Improvement
- The RSE curriculum does not cover statutory content such as intimate relationships and consent
- Pupils do not learn about sexual orientation, gender identity, or religions and faiths other than their own
- The curriculum does not adequately teach pupils about all protected characteristics, limiting their preparation for life in modern Britain
- Leadership has no plans to change their approach to these areas despite them remaining unmet standards
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective; pupils feel safe, staff respond to concerns promptly and receive regular training with knowledge checks, and the child protection policy reflects latest government guidance.
Bnois Jerusalem Girls School is an independent Orthodox Jewish day school for girls aged 2 to 16. The school does not meet all independent school standards that were checked during this inspection.
