Ofsted: Charedi school put pupils at 'unnecessary risk' on Welsh residential trip

The school’s leaders said that pupils had been organised into year-group bubbles with no mixing between groups and there had been a number of health and safety checks.

But Ofsted said “the risk to pupils of catching Covid-19 or transmitting it to others unknowingly was not given sufficient consideration”. 

As a result, pupils were placed “under unnecessary risk, which could have had serious consequences”. 

Ofsted was asked to carry out an emergency inspection of the school – which was rated inadequate two years ago – by the Department for Education after it learned about the trip.
