Beis Malka Girls school

Overview: Beis Malka Girls school is a good school where pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe and happy. However, the school requires improvement in its overall effectiveness and leadership and management. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and provides a broad and ambitious curriculum.

Strengths:

• Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe and happy.
• The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement.
• Pupils apply themselves well to their learning and achieve well in a range of GCSEs.
• The school provides a broad and ambitious curriculum that spans a suitably broad range of subjects.
• The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively.

Areas to improve:

• The school does not routinely check that the curriculum is implemented as intended in each class, making it difficult to identify whether staff may need extra support to deliver the curriculum effectively.
• Pupils do not learn about all of the protected characteristics as set out in the Equality Act 2010, meaning they are not fully prepared for life in British society.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
