Outstanding Yavneh Primary charms inspectors again

The curriculum “inspires pupils to develop new talents such as learning to play the trombone,” Ofsted said. Pupils represent their school with pride as members of the choir or in various local sporting events.

“Carefully chosen trips, to places such as the Royal Albert Hall or Shakespeare’s Globe, teach pupils more about the topics they learn in school. This all helps to spark pupils’ aspirations as future archaeologists, artists, computer programmers and more.”

Older pupils valued the chance to “get stuck into a good book from the well-stocked library”. They often wrote with flair, producing “vibrant and interesting work”.

Children demonstrated “exceptional levels of respect for those who are different to them”.

Headteacher Caroline Field said, “This is a huge moment for our school. Growing a school while protecting what makes it special is no small task. I am immensely proud of our incredible staff, our pupils and our community who have worked so hard to meet this challenge head-on.”

Spencer Lewis, executive head of the Yavneh Multi-Academy Trust, added, “Outstanding once is an honour. Outstanding twice and after doubling in size is a remarkable achievement.”

Yavneh Primary was recently judged outstanding in all areas of Jewish studies by Pikuach, the Board of Deputies’ inspection service.
