Beis Chinuch Lebonos Girls School

Overview: Pupils are enthusiastic and keen to learn, with a strong focus on developing friendships and a sense of community. However, the school requires improvement in several areas, including personal development and leadership and management.

Strengths:

• Pupils are enthusiastic and keen to learn.
• Effective communication across the different phases of the school has led to a clearly sequenced curriculum that supports pupils’ learning from the early years to the end of the secondary phase.
• The school has developed a broad curriculum, with pupils studying computer science, the range of sciences, and a broader music curriculum.
• Pupils achieve at least in line with the national average, and usually above, in national assessments and examinations.
• The school provides one-to-one support for pupils whenever needed and works closely with outside professional organisations to help promote pupils’ mental health and well-being.

Areas to improve:

• In a few instances, staff subject knowledge is not secure, and pupils’ misconceptions are not rectified before moving on to new learning.
• The indoor environment in the Nursery Year does not provide children with an appropriate range of purposeful learning opportunities, limiting their achievement.
• The school is not meeting its statutory obligations with regard to relationships and sex education (RSE) and health education, failing to cover all aspects of statutory guidance.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
