Clore Tikva, the pluralist primary in Redbridge, is back to being a “good” school just over two years since Ofsted graded it as one that “requires improvement”.

Adults had high expectations of children and excellent measure were in place to ensure that children met them and achieved well, including those with special educational needs, or who had disabilities or were disadvantaged.

Reading and basic number skills were prioritised in the early years and children said their love of reading would carry on into adulthood.

The school, rated good in all areas, came under new leadership last September when Margot Buller became headteacher.

Ofsted said the leadership team had extensively developed the subject knowledge of teachers, mentioning reading, maths, geography, history and Ivrit, although it was not so strong in science.

Children were polite and well-behaved and felt challenged by the work set them, while teachers helped them develop confidence and taking responsibility.

Teachers presented knowledge in an “engaging way”, which was strengthened by excellent links between subjects. Children were “rightly proud” of the music they composed.

But while absenteeism had been reduced, the attendance rates of some pupils needed to improve.

Interfatih work was very strong, Ofsted reported, highlighting the Hope Not Hate initiative.

Stereotypes were “regularly challenged within the curriculum and more broadly, for example in assemblies. Consequently, pupils have a strong understanding of gender equality and LGBT issues and a deep respect for those of different faiths.”
