Talmud Torah Tiferes Shlomo

Overview

The report states that the school "does not meet all of the independent school standards that were checked during this inspection." Inspectors found that the situation regarding curriculum content and leadership compliance remains "unchanged" since previous inspections, with leaders confirming they will not include certain statutory requirements due to religious grounds.

Strengths

• The report confirms that "the school’s safeguarding arrangements... continue to be met," including the availability of the safeguarding policy to parents.
• Pupils are "actively encouraged to respect other people" as part of their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
• Leaders are described as being "clear that they want their school to meet all the standards," despite the current non-compliance.

Areas to improve

• The school must ensure its relationships and sex education curriculum includes all required statutory content, specifically regarding "intimate and online relationships, consent and some of the protected characteristics."
• Leaders must ensure the school pays regard to "all the protected characteristics set out in the Equality Act 2010" in its provision and ethos.
• The leadership team must demonstrate the skills and knowledge necessary to ensure "the independent school standards are met consistently," as the current action plan was evaluated as "not acceptable."

Safeguarding

The report states that the school’s safeguarding arrangements, including whether the policy is available to parents and carers, "continue to be met."
