Following last week's shock inspection report downgrading JFS from an outstanding school to one requiring improvement, three more state-aided Jewish schools have been the subject of unannounced visits from Ofsted.

On Tuesday, inspectors swooped on Beis Yaakov, a strictly Orthodox girls high school in Salford. They also arrived on Wednesday to examine Bnois Jerusalem, an independent strictly Orthodox girls school in Hackney.

This followed a two-day visit from inspectors to the Chasidic Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls High School in Hackney, North London last week.

Yesodey Hatorah is currently rated outstanding but has not been inspected since 2006.
