Menorah High School for Girls has been rated good in its first inspection since gaining state-aid three years ago, earning outstanding grades in three out of five categories.
The Charedi girls’ school provided a broad, high-quality education, with a “productive balance of coverage of the secular curriculum and Jewish studies”, Ofsted said.
Menorah High was the sixth highest state school in England, measured by pupils’ progress from entry to GCSE last summer.
Its 299 girls received outstanding tuition from teachers, who were dedicated to “ensuring that pupils fulfil their potential”, as well as a high level of pastoral support. Confident, articulate and polite, they were well prepared for the next stage of their education and for "life in modern Britain".
