Councillor Rita Krishna, the cabinet member responsible for children’s services and education, said: “Our main priority is ensuring pupils are safe and that they receive a high standard of education to give them the best possible start in life.”
Hackney Learning Trust was “working closely with the Department for Education and the Orthodox Jewish community”, she added, with the aim of helping unregistered institutions “meet the requirements for registration with Ofsted.
“Where we become aware of unregistered institutions, we inform the DfE so that Ofsted can visit the schools to consider curricular and safeguarding requirements.”
Strictly Orthodox girls predominantly remain in secondary education for longer and often perform well at GCSE.
