Overview:

Tayyibah Girls' School is a good independent school for girls aged four to 18. Pupils behave with exceptional maturity and form close, supportive friendships. The school fosters a close-knit community where pupils feel safe to raise any worries they may have. The school has high aspirations for pupils' academic achievement and typically, pupils meet the school's high expectations by the time they leave the school.

Strengths:

• Pupils behave with exceptional maturity and demonstrate high levels of self-discipline.
• The school fosters a close-knit community where pupils feel safe to raise any worries they may have.
• The school has high aspirations for pupils' academic achievement and typically, pupils meet the school's high expectations by the time they leave the school.
• The school provides a broad curriculum that provides pupils with the knowledge they need across a range of subjects.
• The school prepares pupils well for life beyond the school, with a personal, social, health and citizenship education (PSHCE) curriculum that provides pupils with relevant information to help them stay safe.

Areas to improve:

• Occasionally, the essential knowledge for pupils to know and remember is not clear, and activity choices do not focus on making sure pupils learn the information required.
• Sometimes, checks on learning do not assess how well pupils learn important information, and underlying gaps in knowledge sometimes go unnoticed and unaddressed for longer than necessary.

Safeguarding:

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
