Girls at Hendon Strictly Orthodox primary need more balanced curriculum, says Ofsted

Girls at a Strictly Orthodox primary school in Hendon need a more balanced secular curriculum, Ofsted has reported.

Although Beis Soroh Schnerer received the same grade as it received two years ago - as a school that “requires improvement” - inspectors noted that it had made progress.

While there was more work to be done, the leadership’s action plan to remedy weaknesses had had an impact across the school, the inspectorate said.

But pupils needed more depth in science, history and geography in particular.
