Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

The school has successfully overhauled its curriculum to align with national standards and now teaches computing from Year 1 to develop technological skills. Pupils learn important lessons about respecting different cultures, religions and British values across multiple subjects. The school actively promotes pupil well-being and prepares students for life in modern British society.

Key Strengths

  • Overhauled curriculum now aligns with national curriculum and includes proper sequencing of knowledge
  • Added computing subjects from Year 1 onwards to develop technological understanding
  • Teaches pupils to respect different cultures, religions and backgrounds through multiple subjects
  • Provides age-appropriate education about healthy relationships, online safety and British values
  • Leadership has improved oversight of curriculum quality with targeted staff training

Areas for Improvement

  • Does not use correct administrative codes when recording pupil absences
  • Fails to inform local authority when pupils leave the school
  • Leadership lacks sufficient awareness of statutory responsibilities regarding pupil admissions and attendance
  • Published safeguarding policy contained inaccuracies that required correction during inspection

Safeguarding

Safeguarding policy was not fully effective, as it contained inaccuracies that leaders had to correct during the on-site inspection.

Extracurricular Activities

Police officer visit for online safety education

The School of the Islamic Republic of Iran is an independent day school for ages 6-16 with an Islamic ethos. The school does not meet all independent school standards checked during this inspection.
