What This School Does Well
The school has made genuine efforts to improve its curriculum and now teaches a broader range of subjects with careful step-by-step progression. Teachers are better supported with training and resources. The school is prepared to deliver an early years curriculum if admissions restrictions are lifted in future.
Key Strengths
- School has implemented a new, better-sequenced curriculum that now includes science, geography, history and physical education beyond just English and maths
- Teachers now have good subject knowledge and access to detailed curriculum planning and resources
- Safeguarding procedures are effective with regular staff training and proper recording of concerns
- Early years curriculum has been developed with clear progression across all seven areas of learning
Areas for Improvement
- Curriculum remains too narrow - missing technology and creative subjects required by standards
- Teaching does not consistently use effective activities to help pupils progress or identify gaps in prior knowledge
- Some pupils struggle to complete work successfully due to gaps in their foundational learning
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - the school has an up-to-date policy, all staff receive regular training, concerns are recorded appropriately, and referrals are made when necessary.
TTD Gur School is an independent Orthodox Jewish school for boys aged 7-12. The school does not meet all independent school standards, though it has made progress in some areas since its previous inspection.
