A small Chasidic boys’ secondary school in Manchester, which was rated inadequate in all areas in 2018, has been blocked from admitting new pupils.

The Department for Education took enforcement action against the independent Yeshivah Ohr Torah in Salford, restricting it from taking more pupils from the end of last October.

An Ofsted inspector returned to the school last month to check that it had not breached the DfE order.

The admissions register, he reported, “revealed that the school has not admitted any pupils since the DfE imposed a relevant restriction on recruiting pupils, with effect from 30 October 2019”.
