Lubavitch Yeshiva Ketanah of London

Overview: The school has a positive culture and pupils feel safe, but the school requires significant improvement in several areas, including the curriculum, teaching, inclusion, leadership and governance, and personal development and wellbeing.

Strengths:

• Pupils attend school regularly and are free from harassment or discrimination.
• Pupils learn respectfully and with enthusiasm, and contribute their thoughts willingly in class.
• Staff are well regarded by pupils and typically have appropriate subject knowledge.
• Pupils enjoy school and feel safe, and staff deal with bullying swiftly and effectively.

Areas to improve:

• The school does not have a suitably broad curriculum for all pupils, and the curriculum taught is not clearly planned and sequenced.
• Pupils have wide gaps in their knowledge, especially in secular subjects, and do not have the opportunity to take national tests and examinations.
• The school does not provide effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and does not work with external agencies to support these pupils.
• The school does not meet its statutory obligations to deliver relationships and sex education, and does not provide careers education to prepare pupils for their future education, employment or training.
• The school does not provide a range of extra-curricular activities to develop pupils' talents or interests.

Safeguarding: The safeguarding standards are met, with leaders and/or those responsible for governance fulfilling their specific responsibilities and establishing an open culture in which safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed.
