They wanted to see more detail on the curriculum and said they had received no information about Kodesh (Jewish studies). The school plans to teach Kodesh in the mornings and secular classes in the afternoon.
There was “not enough space” on the premises to accommodate 200 pupils, inspectors concluded. During the inspection, leaders indicated they wanted to reduce the maximum to 120; Ofsted said it would be suitable for 105.
“Most of the school is in a reasonable state of repair and is ready for pupils to use,” Ofsted said. “However, many of the rooms are not furnished with tables and chairs for pupils to use, and there is a severe lack of resources to deliver the planned curriculum.
“Leaders explained that furniture and resources are on order but have been delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.”
