Beis Trana Girls' School

Overview: Beis Trana Girls' School is a small independent school for girls aged 3-16 from Charedi Jewish families. Pupils enjoy coming to school and feel safe, with a strong sense of belonging and positive relationships with staff. Behaviour is exceptional, with high expectations and clear communication from staff.

Strengths:

• Pupils have a strong sense of belonging and feel safe at school.
• Behaviour is exceptional, with high expectations and clear communication from staff.
• Staff are well-supported and happy, with leaders ensuring they are not overworked.
• The school makes sure that the safeguarding of pupils is the number one priority at all times.
• Pupils enjoy visits to museums, Buckingham Palace, and other local attractions, which help strengthen their understanding of the curriculum.

Areas to improve:

• The school does not fully comply with the Department for Education's statutory guidance on personal, social and health education (PSHE) and relationships and sex education (RSE), meaning pupils do not learn about different families, lifestyles, and protected characteristics.
• At times, the resources and environment in the early years do not reflect the ambition of the curriculum, limiting staff's ability to deepen and develop children's awe and wonder in their learning.
• Some subjects have recently undergone necessary changes, but the ambition of the curriculum is not fully embedded in lessons, limiting pupils' deeper knowledge and understanding.

Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
