Joel Klein, co-chairman of Beis Chinuch, said a complaint had been made to Ofsted because they felt inspectors had been unfair.
The critical report had been unexpected because the school had taken the precaution of undergoing a number of trial inspections from a former Ofsted inspector in order to prepare, he said. Risk assessments had been done by a private company.
“We have been trying to register for the school for a long time and worked hard to get everything done,” he said. “We want to open as soon as we get permission.”
Ofsted said it stood by its report, adding : “We do not discuss individual complaints, but we do take them seriously and deal with them in line with our published procedures.”
