One of Stamford Hill’s largest schools has received its fourth inadequate rating from Ofsted in seven years.

Talmud Torah Yetev Lev, an independent boys’ primary which serves the Satmar community, has 985 pupils – over 400 more than the maximum for which it is registered with the Department for Education.

It remains under a restriction order, imposed by the DfE two years ago, not to admit any new pupils.

Leaders had increased the range of secular subjects. allocated more time to teaching them and recruited more teachers whose first language was English, Ofsted said in its latest report.

But too many teachers did not have good enough knowledge of the subjects they taught and pupils’ knowledge and understanding of most of these was poor.

Pupils were taught what it meant to care for others.

But they struggled to communicate with visitors and their knowledge of faiths and cultures other than their own was “ very limited”.

“Pupils are only knowledgeable about their own community, which means that they are not well prepared for life in British society,” Ofsted said.
