Bnois Jerusalem Girls School

Overview: Bnois Jerusalem Girls School does not meet all of the independent school standards that were checked during this inspection. The school has made some progress in strengthening its curriculum, but it remains narrow and does not meet pupils' educational, physical, social, emotional, and mental health needs well enough.

Strengths:

• Pupils feel well cared for and safe at school.
• Pupils learn about keeping safe when crossing the road and how to take care when talking to strangers.
• Leaders and staff attend regular, suitable safeguarding training.
• The school has developed a carefully sequenced PSHE and RSE curriculum that builds from the primary to the secondary phase.

Areas to improve:

• The school does not meet the standards for the quality of education provided, particularly in relation to the teaching of protected characteristics and relationships education.
• The school does not meet the standards for the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of pupils, particularly in relation to the teaching of protected characteristics and respect for other people.
• The school's curriculum is narrowed in ways that could put pupils at increased risk of harm and limit the contribution to society that pupils are able to make.

Safeguarding: Pupils feel well cared for and safe at school, and leaders and staff attend regular, suitable safeguarding training.
