Drop in official warnings to Charedi schools

The number of warning notices issued by the Department for Education to Charedi independent schools has fallen for a second year in a row.

The DfE sent notices to five strictly Orthodox schools last year — down from 11 in 2023 and 18 in the year before that.

Warnings follow a critical Ofsted inspection which reports that a school has been failing to meet required standards.

The school must then produce an action plan to show how it proposes to remedy the shortcomings.
