Two independent Charedi schools in Manchester have received glowing reports from Ofsted, being graded as good in all aspects. But there was a more critical assessment of two Orthodox schools in north-west London.

Bnos Yisroel — one of the largest Charedi schools in Salford with more than 600 girls from three to 16 — provided a “high-quality, rounded education”, inspectors reported.

The “impeccably polite” girls were encouraged to “have inquiring minds and become independent thinkers”.

Boys at the secondary Etz Chaim School at the Belmont impressed Ofsted as “keen readers stimulated by the opportunities to read literary classics”.
